The more things change... WW II posters still relevant today

[Dan Day]

While looking for a famous WW II poster (the British "Very well then, alone") to make a point on a thread, I found a motherlode of WW II posters of all types, and I was struck by how many of them would be appropriate for the upcoming war(s) against terrorism (including Iraq). Other than possibly modernizing a few dates or costumes on the posters, they'd still be perfectly applicable today.

I believe you wanted this David Low cartoon.

Yes! Thanks much.

Apparently I had misremembered it as a poster, no wonder I couldn't find it.

Here's what the enemy is offering up today:

Propaganda Poster From North Korea: (Korean: US imperialists shouldn't carelessly provoke war)

They've held to the older style graphics and printing techniques.

Yes, this is the same Earnie..from McHales Navy and many more important pictures. It seems his family is of noble blood lines because he kept saying that now he was a " Count of no account"...He is a real regular nice genuine article...all celebs should be like he is.

This looks like a great sign to use on anti-war protesters:

Replace the battleship with the WTC, and the poster is perfect. Otherwise, add a USS Cole reference.
