The World of War - Eating the Young

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes is another of my favorite artists and one who abhorred those who conducted war. This piece is from several of Goya's works and I added our modern counter parts. I used Condeleza Rice as Jupiter because she was the only one who pointed to a highly-classified CIA briefing -- entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States" -- there were, Rice admitted, references to earlier warnings of al Qaeda plans to hijack passenger airliners.... and did not blow the whistle on the rest of the Bush Administration. We could have stopped 9/11 and not gone to war. Bush was too drunk, Cheny too evil, and the rest of the hand maidens too self involved to care. RIce folded and that was her sin.


If you have the opportunity to change things for the good and do not take that opportunity, you are just as culpable if not more of all the sins.
