Stamps are among them:
Among [Henry] Schuler’s favorite stamps are a pair depicting the 1803 attack of the USS Philadelphia by Barbary pirates, in Tripoli harbor. Illustrations of the burning ship are flanked on either side by images of American airplanes preparing to bomb Tripoli in 1986, and the caption reads, FROM THE “PHILADELPHIA” TO F111 AIRCRAFT. "Qaddafi could draw a direct parallel between that historic event and the American bombing of Tripoli," Schuler said. He described the illustrations as "Armageddon-like": "Some of the pirates have cutlasses in between their teeth. Who puts that on a stamp?"
