Ans1: Criticism of the Iraq War: The cartoon criticises the US-led invasion of Iraq, portraying

it as a destructive and apocalyptic event.The Horsemen's portrayal as American troops can


be interpreted as a criticism of the country's foreign policy and military practices. The cartoon
makes the argument that American military might is being utilised destructively rather than to
advance justice and peace.

Ans 2: Both sources link the Iraq War to oil riches, but disagree on its significance. Source B
sees future American control of Iraqi oil as a huge economic win, while Source C points out
that US companies barely got any oil contracts after the war, suggesting other reasons for
the invasion.

Ans3:

Values : Source D provides firsthand knowledge of the official motivations discussed by


senior US officials, having come directly from a meeting of President Bush's cabinet. It
makes it apparent that there may be a link between oil and the decision-making process by
mentioning particular worries about disruptions to oil flow and the necessity of military action.

Limitations : Source D comes from the Bush administration and can represent a narrative
that is biassed towards the author or leave out important factors. It is challenging to
determine whether the snippet is reflective of all points of view because it omits the entire
conversation and any potential conflicts within the cabinet. Information that has been
chosen: It only discusses oil-related issues, possibly ignoring other issues that also played a
role in the decision to go to war.
