The political cartoon above shows a person on the eastern block of the Iron-Curtain that was trying to escape to the western side. The cartoon also shows the lack of total effort on the western side to free people separated by the Iron-Curtain. The cartoon was probably made to show members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Community on the west with the United States that they needed to take extreme actions to free the people in need and not avoid confrontation any longer. The author if this cartoon appears to be an opponent of isolationism and not wanting a reoccurrence of American indifference, like it showed in the beginning of World War II.
