In the background are several B-2 bomber planes and a United States logo. On the left is a man wearing a shirt with the FOX corporate logo holding artifacts and running out a building labeled museum. The poster reads, "Two Years of war and occupation/ U.S. Out of Iraq Now." Below in red is, "March 19/20, 2005: International Days of Action." The bottom right has "Endless War & Repression?
