War and Peace...How Much Land Does a Man Need...The Living Corpse...The Power of Darkness.
All these are NOT about Egypt and Israel (or are they?), but they are titles of literary works by Lev Tolstoi:

Let's say, shall we, that this could be (or is, if we so decide) a visual metaphor of the relationships (intended? perceived? real?) between two countries such as Egypt and Israel.
Feel free to comment ("Would it kill ya' to comment?") about how you interpret it.
Who's The Dog, and who's The Dawg (some human mastermind of this)?
Who's The Bear (giant panda bear)?
Who's [not whose, you grammar-averse students - you know who you are :) ] The Master, and who's The Servant here...if any?
Is that "team" going anywhere? Or just wherever The Dog finds a more compelling smell?
Are they at peace, or they could start a fierce fight at any time?
Is The Bear trumpeting, or just... releasing WikidLicks?
Who are The Puppet Masters, The Directors behind the scenes like this?

For my giant panda bear and the German shepherd dog - is it "romantic" or "practical" to team up?
Or neither, nor?

Interesting metaphor. Thought provoking picture.
