Preemption (Used to be Prevention)

I like how the moles all represent a place and i like how even the subtle things like the score on the game represent an actual place, thing or statistic.

The idea of America waking moles is exactly how i perceived preemption. it shows America attacking a weaker force without justifiable cause.

I see how the wack-a-mole has the paddle instead of the uncle top figure. I also noticed that the other moles are all either dead or hurt i believe.

When you did your presentation this came off to me as something different as Callie said. But after you guys explained what it actually was suppose to be i got the understanding and the meaning of the cartoon.

I agree with Callie. Its a great cartoon, but it came off differently than how it was supposed to be. But you guys did a good job of representing how the United States isn't careful with all of their tactics.

I really like this cartoon. I think that I interpreted it a little bit differently because I wasnt thinking really about the terms. I saw that there were more moles representing other countries than there were Americas. Because of this, and the fact that the moles have weapons, I thought that it might be signifying that other countries are going to retaliate against the United States at some point and that America wont be the big man on top forever.

My favorite detail on this one is the smaller man dragging the corpses of the moles into a pile. It shows how careless we can sometimes be with our military actions.
