English political cartoon additional questions

1.  My observations of cartoon are that the author clearly wanted to make the iraqi man smaller than the u.s. military because that's how the author feels that they are being treated.

2.  The iraqi citizens feel like they are being persecuted and feel that they are being controlled by the u.s. military.

3.  The arguments for the iraqi citizens are of great importance because they feel like they are being persecuted unjustly and it is the u.s. citizen's fault because they are funding the u.s. army.

4.  The iraqi citizens are being persecuted unjustly by not only the u.s. army, but also the u.s. citizens funding all of the u.s. army's actions and their funds for building and constructing new weapons of war.

5.  The citizens of Iraq feel that they are being wrongfully judged and persecuted in their own country by a larger, more powerful u.s. army.  The u.s. army is also being funded by the u.s. citizens with tax money and grants.

6.  The iraqi people are being persecuted unjustly and should be stopped immediately because no one should be persecuted in their homeland.
