Axis of Evil

Just stumbled across this window display from a music shop in Cork that shall remain anonymous. (Ah, what the hell: Russell’s Music store in Parnell Square.)

What on Earth is wrong with those people? No matter what one may think about the current state of affairs – and believe me I have very strong views about this subject, and none of them can summarised with “I wish I was George Bush’ secret love child” - , but what can be achieved with this very general and badly drawn condemnation? As those guys used the countries' flags they effectively insulted ALL the British, ALL the Americans and ALL the Israelis. Hardly a very clever political analysis methinks.

And then the Swastika! Is that a new trend in Irish politics?

But maybe I am misreading this and the owner is a Hindu who uses the Swastika as a positive sign of good luck and just wants to wish Bush & Co every success in combating the “Axis of Evil”……
