America is walking towards a cliff edge with a prosthetic leg.

The sitting figures in the lower part from left to right represent -

native indians

african slaves

japanese from Nagasaki/Hiroshima

vietnamese

Iraqis

These past sins have wounded America.

I might specifically mention that there is NOTHING personal about this criticism of america. It is a view held by the most of the third world.

Besides the Reviews appreciation also comes from:
