Weapon of Mass Destruction?by
XileboComment by eschelar: I don't know if I agree with or understand your link to Snow White, but I will say that I like the picture for another reason with a slightly different twist.
What I can't tell is who is giving, but my guess is that the old woman is giving the apple to the girl.
Your comments show that the little girl is actually a native Iraqi, but her blonde hair suggests a Western background.
I see a tremendous look of distrust and discomfort in the girl's face. This speaks volumes about things like reading evil into good or harmless actions or objects.
On the non-political side, it could also be aptly applied to the situation of wisdom being passed down from aged ones to younger generations. No matter how wise we young 'uns are, we always have trouble swallowing the good advice from our elders. Now matter how simply or well they put it.
That is the side of the image that speaks more to me.
I didn't vote on this, and I can't honestly say now how I would have voted on it. Without a title, I would have come to my own direction for the meaning and significance, which I prefer, but the title pulls me into a political issue that I am not personally interested or involved in (being neither American, not currently living anywhere near either country).
