I'm also in the "that's not funny, that's tasteless" camp.

It's stupid making fun of people like that especially with all the serious murdering and destruction going on.
YOU DO NOT JOKE ABOUT KILLING PEOPLE.

Enough iraqi and american families will not see their father/husband/son/whatever coming home because of this conflict. To belittle the people like that with such a serious comment is sick.

Actually this picture is very like how opposers of the war feel:
The american's (soldier) killing off all resistance and authority (father), while raping the country for resources (sister), and disregarding the civilian population (kids) while promising them democracy and autonomy (the kids actually believe he's nice to them).
