Bring Soldiers Home
This mash-up displays all the U.S. cities that have voted resolutions to bring the troops home and out of Iraq. I must say it is certainly not as exciting as the Global Terrorism and Suspicious Events Mash-Up however it is interesting to see the polarity between existing political mashups. My previous blog post focused on the threat of terrorism and recorded acts of terrorism in any given place at any given time. It instilled an eerie sense of suspicion and fear to anyone who doesn’t feel that the world is threatened by terrorist activities. Conversely, this Bring Soldiers Home mash-up is a clear anti-war message that highlights all of the United States cities that have voted to bring the US troops back home and favoring the notion of a complete withdrawal from Iraq.
According, to public opinion polls from the USAToday nearly 6 out of 10 Americans say the United States should withdrawal some or all of it’s troops from Iraq. If this is the public opinion then why does this mashup not represent 60% of the nations cities voting for complete withdrawal in Iraq? If people truly want change then the current state of this mashup should consist of much more blue flags then what exists on the map right now.
