It would be more accurate if the eagle were blindfolded and the arrows had more olive branches.

He's just acclimating himself to the seal he'll be using beginning in January, trying to help y'all get used to it. Nothing at all wrong with Olive Branches. In fact, generally I'd say they would be preferable to arrows. I can't believe anyone who values human lives would think otherwise.

Hmmm! Rand is on to something. Let's all adopt the slogan "Just say no to war and terrorism". That should make them stop.
