![Et Tu...? [Dulles and the UN vetoes], 1956 US cartoon: A man labelled 'DULLES' grips a newspaper headed 'PRESIDENT'S PLEA](../images/et-tu-dulles-un-veto-berryman-1956.jpg)
Et Tu...? [Dulles and the UN vetoes]
A man labelled 'DULLES' grips a newspaper headed 'PRESIDENT'S PLEA TO BRITAIN AND FRANCE' in front of a wall emblem marked 'U.N.', into which two daggers labelled 'VETO' are flying, while a weeping eagle sits on a US shield behind him. The cartoon argues that the vetoes were wounding the United Nations and the US position; the dagger imagery is a threat metaphor, a weak fit for 'fear-appeal'.
