Political Cartoons

I was looking around the internet for some interesting political cartoons that depicted what was going on and i found two that i really like: 

This also refers to a post i had earlier, about the fact that no one is choosing to step in, and when they do, it will be to late. The grave of the victims of genocide in Sudan is evident in this picture, and it is extremely large, to depict the 200,000 thousand victims at the time the cartoon was created. The United States is depicted through George Bush, standing on the grave of the Sudanese. He states, "okay, time to do something about this problem," that symbolizes that the rest of the world will only realize that they must do something about Sudan if they are standing with bodies at there feet. Unless a giant grave is placed in front of them, and the issues are made even more obvious than they already are, other nations in the world could care less about what goes on in Sudan, and if they say they do, they are lying. 

 

I also discussed this issue earlier, the government is punishing the innocent. The people of Sudan are portrayed through the teddy bear, all chained up and not able to get away from the situation. The Sudanese man whipping the bear is representative of the the military/ government and the injustice that they are inflicting upon there own people. It really represents how stupid the situation is, who would punish a teddy bear? One of the most innocent and child like creatures in our world, yet the evil that is the government in Sudan feels nothing when it comes to the punishment of there own citizens, they have done nothing wrong!
