Bump!

Spread this thread like hell throughout the US and international news media, to Capitol Hill, and even to within the bowels of the 'anti-War' (actually, anti-Bush) movement.

I had one heck of a time getting this formated the way I wanted to. The original post appears at the source link. It is formated better. For some reason this post did not want to hold center. I had to add about thirty additional < center >< /center > commands to get it posted here. In the process some of the spacing took a hit. Next time I'll just link in the off FR site source. (Not implying this is FR forum related, just html quirks related.)

Doughty, can you or anyone else here with web graphics capability, arrange a BUMPER STICKER with the flags of all of these nation arranged on the top, bottom and both sides. In the middle (on white background), simply in black letters:

"COALITION OF THE WILLING"

It would be cool! I already have a friend in the states who has the Union Jack, and the Aussie Flag next to her USA flag on her car.

The more we spread this news (and signs/bumper stickers are a great way) that we are IN FACT not 'alone', the more foolish the Iraq-coddlers look.

Can anyone dummy up my idea here as a prototype to see what such a "COALITI0N OF THE WILLING" Bumper Sticker with all those flags might look like?

I would do this myself if I had the graphics capability.....

Add Ireland - they were upset they didn't get a chance to sign the letter from the other Europeans. Also Scotland, too, I presume, because of Lord George Robertson's position in NATO and presumption they supported Turkey (since Scotland was not amongst the 3 weasels)

It will make those peacemongers go batty to see all this support for the US shoved under their noses.

This is PRECISELY! how very powerful of an argument this is for patriots, how it totally shames the enemy/opposition, and how it is also great graphically and can easily understood by Americans who would see these signs and bumper stickers all over the place starting this weekend.

I mean it.

We need to get these massproduced and distributed 24/7 as signs, posters and bumper stickers, as we did with "Sore Loserman".

Two perfect companion bumper stickers, imho, for right and left, would be a "COALITION OF THE WILLING" with all those damned international ally flags (as visualized), and then three flags spliced together--Belgium, France, Germany, with three noticeable "X"s through them. I'll be 90% of Americans driving would recognize and understand the statement.

Let's isolate France and Germany and Belgium in the American mindset, and have fun doing it!!!
