Schlock and awe
I think this situation absolutely requires that a really futile, stupid gesture be done on somebody's part! And we're just the guys to do it.
The Bare Necessities, a womens' peace group, stripped naked in the Burren as a protest against the war in Iraq (pictures in Galway Advertiser and Sunday Independent). That 50 naked and, ahem, uncropped women would form the words "Bush Out" without a hint of irony tells you all you need to know about such a pointless act. That they would choose a form of protest that is particularly offensive to Islam (which favours female modesty) just underlines the fact.
