'US Destroyer Off the Coast of Iran'
The destroyer is painted in Iraqi war camouflage I designed.
There is an endless audience of victims in bodybags on the shore.

You may be surprised
at the answer; there are already over 169 cosponsors of H.Con.Res. 362.
This resolution demands that the president initiate an international effort to
impose a land, sea, and air blockade on Iran to prevent it from importing
gasoline and to subject all cargo entering or leaving Iran to stringent
inspection requirements.
For such a blockade to be imposed without United Nations authority (which the
resolution does not call for) would be considered an act of war. Some
congressional sources say the House could vote on the resolution as early as
this week.
Adoption of this resolution would pave the way for such a war and bypass
diplomacy. Sensing that the threat of war has once again increased, IAEA Head El
Baradei warned yesterday that he would resign if any country attacked Iran.
The immediate effect would be a further increase in oil prices - with gas prices
in the US incing closer to $5/gallon and beyond.
