Printed across the bottom of the page from left to right are a bullet logo for Crimethinc. and the URLs: www.crimethinc.com, www.warincontext.org, www.zmag.org/terrorframe.htm, www.indymedia.org/peace, and www.infoshop.org.

Black and white poster shows two soldiers in a landscape of broken vegetation. One soldier stands just left of center holding a rifle. A speech bubble pointing to him reads, "I can't wait until the war on terrorism is over and there's no more terrorism!" A second soldier lies on the ground with his feet in the foreground and his arms splayed out at his sides. His speech bubble reads, "Right! Remember how we had that war on drugs, and now you can't buy drugs anymore?" "The War on Terrorism-- / it may not do much against terrorism, / but it sure does a lot for War" is printed at top right. Small italic text just below notes civilian casualties in Afghanistan compared to casualties of the September 11 attacks. Text also notes, "One can be sure that every relative, friend, and neighbor of the Afghan innocent dead is now more sympathetic to the terrorists, rather than less."
