Political Cartoon: ISIS and US




 Response:

In this political cartoon , it is obvious that the artist has a very strong opinion on what actions should be taken against ISIS. He has labeled the two pictures, "Cancer" and the other "Surgery", showing that IS is an infectious disease that needs drastic measures to heal or get rid of. In the picture to the right he shows a bomb hurdling towards a crowd of people and the bomb has the American flag on it. The artist is clearly portraying that he believes the US needs to step up and heal the world of the IS and their terrorism. He drew the man in the left photo holding a knife with an unseen man with a gun, to show that although armed, their weapons are not as strong as those of the US (bomb in right photo). Although, the US should take action, they should be more cautious of how they handle the situation. If they run in their like a hurdling bomb they may get hurt with the target.
