47 - About Irak; a question to the Yi

Well, you may think I purposely selected this hexagram for the question, but no, that isn't the case; the hexagram came up as an answer to a question posted to the Yi: What about the war in Irak?

The hexagram name has been translated in different ways: Oppression, Exhausting, Confinement, Adversity, Weariness... The ideograph for the name, Kun, depicts a tree placed in a big mouth, where the mouth signifies enclosure. A confined situation for anybody, or anything, to be in. Hmmm, I can't find any parallels to the situation in Irak...

The check list on the toon are my own satirized versions of the lines.
