I'm building a small OIF vignette and wes planning to "write" a graffitti sign on the wall... something in Arabic letters. Any ideas?

I have a photo taken in Baghdad by my best friend whom I served with. It was taken during the initial occupation of Iraq and translated says "Death to America". If you're interested let me know and I can e-mail you a copy.

Otherwise, my only other suggestion is look at any news article with photos. Though, unless you read Arabic who knows what it might say....

There are quite a few like this if you do a search on Google or Yahoo, Mario.

Hey there, Mario. If you have specific slogans in mind, let me know what they are and I'll send them to you written in Arabic and you can just copy them.

By the way, the one in the post just before mine, with the guy carrying the RPG says " No To Bush". It would be pronounced "Kalla Bush", Kalla being the "No" part.
