The War is Over? WHAT!
I read an article called "Faux New York Times Issue Inspires Hope, Declares Iraq War Over". This article is about the a flame of hope that washed over a group of people on a New York subway, only to get it extinguished again. On November 12, a group of people called the "Yes Man" group made a bunch of fake New York Times news papers declaring the war in Iraq to be over. The team handed them out on the subway one morning, expecting to get laughs or at least smerks, But the reactions were everything but that. This News paper was not ment to upset people, or anger them, it was just simply to get people thinking. Thinking about "What if the war really was over" or if we our country would stilll have financial problems. Thats exactly what this paper did, it let the readers imagine a world with no war. Although this article caused some to get their hopes up, many people are still hoping for the war to ebd soon.
