Anti-Militarism Posters?

I like Seth's idea about copying the ISO topics, or it least how it would
help us mirror current events.  I especially think we should take advantage
of this latest Iraq crisis before it explodes and use it as an opportunity
to show some of our colors on non-economic issues.  The ISO has a bunch of
posters about "Why you should oppose the bombing of Iraq."  They emphasize
the whole idea of a capitalist system that needs war to survive.  Why not
make some of our own that explain why you should oppose it on libertarian
grounds?  We could emphasize how good commercial relations, not bullying
tactics are the best deterrant of international conflict.

I'd especially like to find that quote by the Russian foreign minister
about how U.S. intervention in Iraq could lead to World War III, and find
something about those nuclear missiles missing from Russian stockpiles, so
we can illustrate how dangerous it really is for us to be making foreign
enemies now.

I guess this would be one of those posters to demonstrate our ideology in
some detail.  Maybe we could make this the topic for the week after next.
