The shocking and mysterious story about the approximated 5,000 birds dropping dead from the sky is portrayed in this cartoon. The top section shows an appalled citizen staring at all the dead birds on the ground in front of him. The second section shows two more citizens in shock looking at the dead birds in front of them. The third is a couple of people in the Middle East who witness the same death scene, but of doves holding olive branches in their beaks, which are a symbol of peace, and they hardly even acknowledge that the birds are there and are strolling past them. This is very significant because it is showing that peace is right in front of the Middle East, if they stop to notice it then maybe they can do something about it, but they are just overlooking it. So on and on the war in the Middle East goes, a huge problem that the citizens, as portrayed in this cartoon, are recognizing but not admitting to, and therefore no progress is being made in retaining peace and solving their governmental and economical hardships. Peace there is dead, and only discovering a means to save it will provide good hope for the future.
