This comic is showing the past wars we have had Afghanistan and Iraq and next could be Syria. We could be giving birth to another war and that "angle" could be Syria. Any way we look at it war could still happen even though the chemical weapons are being taken out of Syria. We have our eyes set on Syria and will not take them off. Mostly because of oil its possible that the colors of her two boys shirts represents oil they are "oil black" and she has red and blue for the U.S. or in this case the "mother of U.S. wars. They also show the death that occurred in both of those countries. The black hair and eyes are very representative of the darkness that occurred in Afghanistan and Iraq. The skull, the TNT and the knives with blood on them all clear indication of death and destruction. It also shows how we believe we are a great super power that we are but we have already have given birth to two other wars and now yet another possible "child" of war. The other comics on this site are all great they tell about Obama, Putin and Syrian Policy/Foreign Policy.
The comic is really interesting. It gives an idea that US wars have sort of taken on a life of their own and have their own agenda separate from our policy. Maybe we need to rethink how conflict is handled to put it more in context with our advertised foreign policies.
