The peace posters that could have won

I didn't enter the recent peace poster contest with a prank poster because I can't draw. But, I've included to the right four entries that I might have entered if I could draw a straight line.

See jimtreacher.blogspot.com/2003_04_20_jimtreacher_archive.html, kenlayne.com/blogarchives/week_2003_04_20.html#003262, kenlayne.com/blogarchives/week_2003_04_13.html#003246, and aucurrant.pitas.com for links to the other prank posters which were entered.

From top to bottom:

1. A bombed out cityscape; caption would be "You call this an improvement?"

2. The triangle is an oil derrick/windmill, with a giant swastika as the sail. The round figures beneath ground are dead Iraqis. The red splotch is a drop of blood. Caption: "No more bodies for oil." (Extra credit: the hand of Uncle Sam or GWB holding out a cup to catch the drop of blood.)

3. The big thing in the center is a bomb which would have "USA" written on it. Below that is a daisy to the right and two bunny rabbits to the left of the daisy. Caption: "Collateral Damage."

4. The two boxes at the bottom of the picture are ballot boxes. The two irregularly shaped objects at the top of the picture are hands, and the hands are dropping ballots into the ballot boxes. The left ballot will say "Saddam" on it, and the right will say "Bush" on it. The left ballot box (with the Saddam ballot) will have "100%" written on it, and the right will have "45%" written on it. (Extra credit: the right hand will be white, and the left will be a Hand of Color.)

Not shown: A large picture of a dog with big eyes. Above him, a bomb is about to hit him. Caption: "Why?"
