"They don't want communism"
"They want enough rice", I said."They don't want to be shot at. They want one day to be much the same as another. They don't want our white skins around telling them what they want."

The context is as much the American views of democracy as anything else. It is set in Vietnam and the two characters talking are are in a watch-post of the government in the middle of the rainforest. During this time the main character, a journalist from England named Alden, and his "friend" from the U.S., Pyle, who is set on creating a democracy throughout Indo-China.
My favorite artistic style is stippling and I think I could do a good job with this quote using stippling. I will stipple the word "democracy" in the silhouette of a gun. I could possibly do this part on photo-shop and stipple the quote. I was also thinking of creating a boxing arena (stippled) Uncle Sam VS. the face of communism (Whoever was heading the communist movement at the time) and the prize money would be the actual citizens of Vietnam.
