    That is a heart wrenching picture. The one with the little Iraqi girl. She's just witnessed her parents murder by US troops and she is covered probably by their blood.

    What child deserves this? What freedom comes with this price? What freedom has come so far anyway?

    Anyone else find interesting that all of these pics are related to something sad. I have always thought that humans are moved by sad events than happy ones.
