Part of the 'Appropriate War' series
In Slaughter House VI, Kurt Vonnegut makes uses of several unique methods to tell his story of the fire bombing of Dresden: alien abductions, time travel, etc. These fictitious methods work contrary to what you might expect, nearing truth in a surreal way. Inspired by his approach, I employed similar methods with the new mess of imagery that we have created in our invasion of Iraq.
