Re the painting: I'm surprised they did not put in some cute little girls that offered flower bouqets to the "liberators"....

It's amazing that anyone in this day and age can paint something like this and take it seriously.

And after ALL the critisism by Americans about "propaganda" in the USSR..... they actually COPY Russian propagandistic type art, with the difference that Minsk genuinely WAS liberated from an occupying enemy, not attacked by a country on the other side of planet like in the case of Iraq.
I'm hoping that what Mr. McGee says is accurate, because to me it seems like a really tongue-in-cheek endeavor, an attempt to make a statement about the vacuousness of the whole Bush Crusades. If anyone took this seriously, then (imho) it's not only in poor taste, but kind of crazy, too.
