This is coolbert:

From a very heavily edited [Military Thoughts] blog entry as originally posted on 2005 but still pertinent.

The American WW2 flag raising Iwo Jima several less than flattering knockoff with an extreme political slant.

This world-famous image of the U.S. Marines in action has been put to other uses lately. Versions of the Suribachi flag raising have been used recently as part of a cartoon "reprisal"

Carried out by the Iranian government. A retaliation in response to the "Muhammad" cartoons published by the Danish newspaper. A contest to poke fun and biting satire at the U.S., Israel, and Jews in general. 

These cartoon versions of the Suribachi flag raising are meant to be biting, spiteful, and yet, insightful, as seen by the cartoonist. Making a point.

You judge for yourself!

The Americans are in this cartoon raising the flag of 'freedom', but are doing so atop a mountain of HUMAN SKULLS!

Here the British/ American military raising their flags. An Israeli troop in solidarity running to also plant his flag on the same spot. ALL done atop another mountain of HUMAN SKULLS!

The Iranian cartoon contest has some really well done cartoons as part of the "exhibit". I highly recommend you look at them without reservation or qualification. They do make you think, whether you agree or disagree! But that is the purpose.
