Why do you appreciate this? What about WWII popped America's moral superiority?
I wouldn't take the use of Iwo Jima flag-planting as a reference to WWII, but as a reference to current justifications for the perception (whether intended by US or not) of flag-planting still. The image is not about WWII.
Hmm, "current justifications for the perception (whether intended by US or not) of flag-planting still"? Where did the US justify such a perception?

Good posts lately, BRC, thanks.
Where are we flag planting other than Iraq? How about the Czech Republic and Poland? We could also list one or two former SSRs, not to mention all the other current US military bases overseas. And those are just a few of many, depending on how many administrations you would like to go back. (I use the term "administration" rather than GWB's preferred "government", as in "my government.")
