This cartoon by Gerald Scarfe is one of the better cartoon's I've seen on the troubling war in Afghanistan. Most editorial cartoonists in Australia generally avoid it in favour of comment about the political events of the day.

Scarfe's work is visually strong, and a powerful image that critiques the war in Afghanistan. A visual politics about the strategy of "clear, hold, build" that represents the credo of General David Petraeus's counterinsurgency operations that include Australian troops.
