Artistically, what would the Iraq/Afghanistan War memorial look like?

Sorry, wrong thread.

A heroic, double sized statue of Dick Cheney on horseback, pointing his shotgun eastward, with G. W. Bush behind him, hanging on for dear life.

What, nobody mentioned a giant bronze “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” banner?

Seriously, I don’t think there will be one - the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial pretty much does the job of any Afghanistan War Memorial. Besides, I assume there are already any number of “people’s memorials” - for example, the one in Lafayette, California.

A while ago I started a thread in IMHo about a really beautiful memorial proposed in Norway:

I guess that pretty much sums up why we have artists.

A giant question mark made of solid gold. No words. Nothing but this giant, gold question mark.

We have always [del]been at war with Eastasia[/del] believed that Afghanistan was equally a bad idea/unjustified as Iraq. :rolleyes:
