Iran and the 'War on Terror' Pipeline.
I started started on this cartoon after reading the BBC story, "US imposes new sanctions on Iran". Iran is obviously in the sights of the US. How long before it escalates? It went on for years with Iraq, but Saddam Hussain was a different kettle of fish.
I've gotta eat my own words following my last post. I said: Unless it's a tour de force from a recognised and respected editorial cartoonist, people won't dwell on a cartoon trying to discover its meaning. The cartoon's got to be digestible in a heart beat.
Well I broke that rule and have produced this over complicated cartoon about sourcing energy for the west. My apologies. I shall strive to keep it simple in future. I nearly drove myself insane with this one.
I've tried to differentiate between what Bush and his minions are trying to achieve now and the 'Appeasement Pipeline' of the past. It IS a convenience for the sake of making a point. I don't feel I've been hugely successful but I want to get this out to see what reception it gets. Maybe someone will suggest a better model to illustrate what is going on.
It was getting too involved and had developed a life of it's own. It just seemed to grow and grow... now it's gone out, perhaps I can walk away from it for the time being.
