Gulf War vs Iraq War: Time Magazine Covers

In the link above, an image of Time Magazine is shown with the words "War In The Gulf" on the cover. The word "War" is in huge block lettering making it impossible to miss. It also shows an image taken of Baghdad on January 17th which was when Desert Storm began. The image shows an accurate depiction of what exactly was going on that night.

The link above brings you to an image of a Time Magazine cover that reads "Are We Stretched Too Thin?". This of course refers to the Iraq War and asks the question if the American government has bitten off more than they can chew with the Iraq War. The image shows a soldier with the world on his back whiling trying to reach his rifle. In my opinion, this sends a strong message about doing too much. I believe we are being "stretched too thin".
