WOW - Nothing I can say could say more than that!

Poor little child. He has no weapons of mass destruction with which to interest the superpowers. Nor any oil. And nothing but Janjaweed to comfort him.

Nothing much can be said about the issue, or add to the above comments.
Just for the sake of sharing thoughts about the cartoon, as a cartoon, I don’t like this wave, though it’s bothering aspect is maybe it’s strength.
I would have drawn (if I knew how) something representing the indifference… a sort of wave going away from the child and leaving him by himself…

See what you mean. The earth wave’s strength is disconcerting when its really the indifference that’s the crux of the issue. Still a striking political statement, would love to have a fraction of the talent of these cartoonists.

This isn’t quite a comic. It’s really more of a complete illustration. It looks like it was made in a 3d program. Semantics aside, it’s an interesting concept.
