In one cartoon, Mike Thompson drew a bald eagle tossing an unhatched egg marked "NEW IRAQI GOV'T" from a nest high on top of a cliff. "Fly!" the eagle yells as it tosses the egg into the air. What do you think the bald eagle symbolizes? Why did Thompson use an egg for the new Iraqi government?

Answer:

(not exactly sure) bald eagle: america/usa egg: represents “new” or “small”

Step-by-step explanation:

the bald eagle is a well known symbol of the usa. The egg might symbolize something small or new, like a baby bird. this relates to the “new iraqi government” The bald eagle is already grown, but it expects the egg to know how to “fly” (grow up, have responsibilities, maintain government, etc)
