Editors, please do not block this comment... let it through. You can delete this first paragraph if you feel you need to. This is very important to me. Thank you so much! Robert... to answer your question, I have stopped buying anything made with "faux fur", not because of child labor altho that might be happening with this business too. I DO ASK the sales personnel and/or manager of stores I frequent if he/she is aware of the way dogs and cats are killed in China and how the fur is used for the "faux fur" linings and trimings on clothing, etc. It is banned here in the United States, yet there are bogus ways it still gets through the system. I have yet to come across a sales person or manager who was aware of this, unless they pretended ignorance of the horror! If I do find items with this fur, I WILL NOT BUY IT, and may not go back to that store. (There are ways to take the item into the dressing room and test it if you're not sure about the kind of fur it is.) And I make good and sure the store owner/manager knows why I didn't buy it! It's Horrible!!! I watched a documentary on this process (for lack of a better word) and cried the whole time watching, yet couldn't pull away wanting to know about it to avoid buying products with this fur. I cried for days every time I went into a store and saw clothing with this on it. Is anyone aware of the fact that when you buy one of those cute little fake cats that sit in baskets, or dogs and bunnies, it's fur from a slaughtered cat or dog in China! Check it out for yourselves! Check out this site, please: http://www.voice4dogs.org/

I HATE WAR, and what it does to children... and adults alike!!! The fear on this child's face makes me want to cry! I can't imagine if that were my child or grandchild... God forgive stupid people, and You know of whom I speak, for You know all things! Mish, sorry but I can't believe you "love the one eye" peeking out! I feel so bad for all the ppl in war zones and areas where ppl are starving, etc... gotta stop before I start crying!!! This is an atrocity!!!
I live in Philadelphia and as most of you know, right now, it's a warzone here. I'm blessed to live in a very quiet, nice, and safe part of Philadelphia but not all of my family is so furtunate. My point is, my heart goes out to this family because I see the same look on my baby cousins and friends whenever I go to visit them. It's a fear that says I don;t know who in my family will be alive tomorrow. My heart truly goes out to them.
Insecurity, pain, anger, fear! All these emotions clearly visible from this young boy's facial expression. Why do we as human beings subject our future generation to so much mental and emotional suffering? We need to be better role models. Think about the long term consequences before we take action. Look as that baby clings on to his "mother". A "protective" figure for him/her, well so he/she thinks, but the problem lies in her inability to fulfill that role. Her inability, semmingly because she is forced by societal norms to play a submissive role. She can't take a stand authoritatively against the soliders. The possible consequences of that action, well, we all know... There is no peaceful resolution that is derived from voilent acts. We have to learn from our pasts and live for tomorrow.
It's okay... but my comment above was meant for the next photo... LOL!
SouthernLady...The ultimate plant verses animal test is if the fur collar on your mumu chases a squirrel up a tree!(lol)
Here we go again... new photos are being posted... My comment above was meant for the photo that Robert has asked a question on (child labor for instance). Sorry folks for confusing ya'll!
I really like this photo. The look in the little boy's eyes is compelling. I also like the way mom has hidden the baby from view.
Look how tight that poor baby is gripping his/her mother's ?? (shirt, robe, cloak). They look terrified.
Earl-squirrels are evil, I've been attacked 2x :o and i also love the woman's eyes
All I see when I look in the young boy's eyes is... "Why us? Why our family?"
It is amazing how we all can look at the same picture and come away with different views. I have worked with children for 50 years--either in nursing or teaching---and I have found them to be very strong....usually more-so than their adult counter-part. This young man does have a look of puzzlement and anxiety on his face but he looks boldly at the camera eye...I am sure he has been taught to be the man of the house. The eyes in this picture do pull you in and do hold you. The texture/folds of the material is an interesting study against the backdrop of the wall---but this picture does state that the eyes are the windows to the soul. The Baluchi Valley has the largest poppy crop in history. The Dutch Soldiers who are in charge of this area are with NATO and are up against some very well prepared, trained, and equipped Tali-ban. Just what did you think these Dutch soldiers were going to do this family? If you do any reading at all, you will know that this family has more to fear from the Tali-ban and from their own government soldier/police than it does from NATO.
So much suffering in the world. God help us.
I noticed that I slipped and used the phrase man instead of boy----I tried to change it but it was too late....maybe, it was made because I know these children must grow up very fast and leave all childish pleasures behind?
Do you think he would look any different if he had just witnessed a suicide bomber or a headless corpse in the street? Everyone hates war...and change has to come from within. I just hope they don't win and bring that way of life over here to us. Why is Philadelphia a war zone?
I think the look in his eyes convey part fear, but part defiance. As if to say. "Go away and stop acosting my family." It's really an interesting study in the differences in our cultures. In America, the women would be protecting him and the baby. We'd be staring down the photog, daring him to mess with our family.
I know no one likes War. But you have to look on the other side of the stick. What if you were the one’s patrolling over there and entering homes looking for unauthorized contraband. It’s not a walk in the park. What if you had a loved one over in Afghanistan getting shot at or even lost someone close to you because some local’s were hiding a weapons cache to harm Coalition Forces? It hurts to see little children suffer, but you have to remember. OUR boys are suffering over there also. I believe they can act or even look sad all the want. It’s only for ten minutes.
The effects of war on children... My mom was age 5-10 during the occupation of her country in WWII. She grew up and got on with her life, seemingly unaffected. But when Pres. Bush declared the Persian Gulf War, she went into a panic at age 55 and started covering her windows for a blackout, here in Seattle, as she had done every night for five years as a child. She was terrified to her core, even though she knew she was safe here. I often thought the only reason (really) that she married an American and moved here was that in her subconcious, it was safe here. For children, war is processed primally, not rationally, and it becomes a life sentence. At some level, her terror and insecurity has driven every major decision my mom has ever made. Jeff talks about sympathy for the soldiers, and I don't think anyone blames the soldiers. My mom tells the story of the German soldier who guarded the prison she walked past to school. He would entice her with chocolate so she would sit with him -- and he's stroke her hair and tell her about his little girl back home, and he'd cry quietly in fear for her life. He wasn't a monster. He was stuck, like my mom was stuck, in a Hell someone else created that he couldn't escape. It's the comfortable and untouched world leaders who start these atrocities that are to blame.
Bravo, Deborah!!!
This boy's expression goes through the lense. Kudo to the photog in this case I don't think he "crossed the line".
Deborah: I don't think any person could argue with your post. Profound!
Wow Deborah. Thank you for sharing that. I often think about my grandfather and how war changed his ideals. He would always rail on about the nationalities of the axis nations and offend my little PC heart. But then I had to remember that he was in a war and his trust was broken. And I had no idea what he went through and could not judge him. It was also not my place to try and change his mind.
Carol-Philadelphia is a warzone b/c of the murder rate. You can't go anywhere without the fear of being shot. And recently that cop was shot and died. I feel terrible for his family, however, the outcome of that is any young black male wearing a hooded sweatshirt is being stopped. My fiance, a computer analyst, was stopped walking home from the store because he looked like a possible "suspect". I spoke with a few friends, and thier sons, friends, husbands, have all been harassed over the weekend. So its pretty bad here. If you don't get shot by the people who have no respect, you're getting harassed by the cops who think every young black guy is about to rob someone.
Fear, curiousity, suspition... all are expressed in each face. It's fear the unknown that turn the gears of war. Great photo- sonya anselmo
Let's not forget, as we look at the compelling picture, the murderers who hide behind these people. The Talliban murderers use women and children as shields so that soldiers trying to stop their brutality must pick their way through innocents to try to capture the savages.
As many of you might have read in previous postings, I am a US Marine. I have spent the last 5 years of my life in Iraq, Afghan, and North Africa. I see many postings saying "War is horrible" and I agree. War is horrible, I truly wish from the bottom of my heart that I did not have to go where I have been and done the things I have had to do, or anyone else for that matter, although I will stand in front of any of my brothers or any freedom loving human proudly. However, war will always exist, it is easy to sit here in our nice safe homes, in our nice little world and say things like this. I wish all wars would end, but they won't. The Middle East has been at war for litterally hundreds of years, and they won't stop. Religion is the driving force, and I believe there is no higher force in the world, no matter what religion you are. I am not in any way saying that Muslims cannot be dealt with in a more political manner. I think anyone can talk, but the above is what "talk" leads to when leaders don't agree. I have seen many faces like the one above, and it feels like a knife in the heart every time,but what you DON'T see is sad. I couldn't count the number of smiling, laughing faces my brethren and I have seen in Iraq and Afghan. But you don't see those photo's do you? And you never will, because happiness doesn't sell. Pain and sadness sell. I have had no real debate in this posting. I just felt like writing so I did. I hope you all sleep safe tonight, because while I am on watch NOTHING will harm any of you. I am back in the states now, if you haven't gathered that already. I hope peace shines on each of you, and I hope it shines on America one day soon.
We are discussing CATS and DOGS skin being ripped and made clothes out of it.... I am sorry and i feel ashamed of you intelligent people....cant u see the FEAR in the eyes of this small boy and cant u see how the Lady is protecting (or hiding) their children from the Dutch soldiers.... This itself signifies what those poeple are going thru .... I feel ashamed of this world.... all the organizations (UNO) and press for this .... GOD BLESS THEM !!!
aftab... they posted my comment on the wrong page... if you would have read my post after the CATS and DOGS post, you would realize I feel the same way as you... please try to read all the posts again! Oh, and don't feel ashamed for me... I don't need it! Peace!
AdamStLouis ---thanks for all you have done. I have seen the many smiling faces Of Iraq and Afghan. My grandkids and I have made many Marine friends the past few years and have received many pictures of the area and the good works that you guys have done...glad you posted and peace with you also.
Bayaga, Thank you for your words, it is good to know that some people out there know what Military Men/.Women deal with. I was actually spit on the last time I came home. I spent 2 night in jail for breaking his nose. Most people say I should have taken it with a smile on my face and not retaliated. Well, at least I had a smile on my face. HA!
Penetrating photo. You can feel their anger seeping into your soul by the fact one has her head turned, one allows only an eye, and the boy shows intense anger in his face. They have every right to feel as they do.
Adam - Why were you arrested? He assaulted you first. If I were a cop, I would have thrown him in jail. Thank you.
Many criticize the U.S. and it's allies for executing this war in such a 'hands-on' humanitarian fashion. I wonder what they would say to these people if we were carpet bombing neighborhoods instead. These people are most likely thankful the Dutch soldier is searching his neighborhood for bad guys so they can live in peace. Thanks for your service Adam.
I agree with SouthernLady: I can not believe how Mish can only like the one eye peeking out!! it sounds so superficial and empty, when the first thing most people noticed is a baby's face, an inocent baby, a scared little baby...who probably doesnt know what is happening around him!
For the post above concerning the one eye peeking out and the terriffied baby hidden by its mother: the area described is very conservative/fundamental Islamic and still has alot of Taliban contro/influence. In those cultures women do not let men whom they are not closely related to see them they cover up completly, or they could be shot for immodesty. It goes beyond the cultural pulling a veil over your hair when a man anounces he is entering (men must give warning and allow women to veil themselves before entering any building or courtyard in these places) common in veil oriented societies. Thus, the young girl bundling up with only an eye peaking out and the woman turning around. If your holding a baby and looking after another young child it would logically be easier to just turn around then trying to pull your veil or hadja (I belive that is what the style the woman is wearing is called at least that is what it looks like from the back I'd have to see the front to know for sure)over your face. This is just another explaination of what possibly may be happening based on my knoweledge of the custums. Also how can you tell if the baby is terrified you barly see him over his mother and none of his face or expession. To AdamStLouis- Semper Fi and thank you.
Hey Adam--I agree with San Diego on this call (even if she did call me a cat). Went though that with my Vietnam soldiers......however, your call was wrong on the Russian education---been there, done that---but I still support you all the way.
I am appalled that you see the one eye peeking out and "love it". Do you not see the agony, fear and hopelessness in the child or in the body language of the adults? That is exactly what is wrong with us as a people. We look for the "cool" stuff and things that we love and not reality. Enough said.
No, I'm the cat. It's a good thing. Blueberry vodka - klasna
Adam: I have to call you on the spitting incident. I think you are telling a fib. I hang with the anti-war crowd and not once --- NEVER --- has one person said anything bad about a soldier or the military in general, let alone spit or call names. From one soldier to another, friend, keep it truthful!
Bayaga, Wrong and Right? In that case it is about a simple point of view, that doesn't make me wrong, it would make my opinion different not "wrong". I have also been there and done that. Also, The other fella was arrested. He was charged I was not. I was released. However, being in the Marines I had to wait until a MP was available to come get me from jail because I had to be released on base. So I couldn't simply walk out of the P.D. We have an entirely different set of rules, like, if I get a speeding ticket, I get it from the civilian police, then as soona s I get back on base, I get another ticket from the Military Police. Or if someone is charged with say assault, they get charged off base, then charged again on base. It kind of stinks, but the military is supposed to be held to a higher standard. Or so we are told anyway. o we get a double wammie!!
TonyInElPaso just because the anti-war crowd you hang with doesn't insult or asult the military doesn't mean there aren't others that do. Look at Westboro Baptist Church, most anti-war and anti-gay groups wouldn't do what they are doing. I have seen both kinds of anti-war people, those who oppose the war but respect the soldiers and those who are against the military itself. I almost got into a fight last year with a girl talking trash about people in the military, and would have had another student interviened to change the subject quickly. I even saw a post once by a man saying that anyone who volunteered to be in the military deserved to die because they were nothing but murderers. Trust me people like that are out there. eurodude as the young boy is the only one who can be seen (not the girl, woman or baby) then it is only the boy whos expression can actually be read. The two woman are acting in accordance with their customs by hiding their faces. I do not know whether they are scared or not and I doubt anyone would be giddy about their house getting searched but to attribute terror to them without seeing whether or not they are terrified I think goes a little to far. They live in a Taliban area for personal safety they are going to act in accordance with Taliban regulation on dress and modesty so they don't get killed. You may not like the war in Afganistan (where this picture was taken) but the Taliban attacked first, they attacked civilians with civilian aircraft (a cowardly act) in America but with the World Trade Center as a target they were basically attacking the western world. This kind of attack presipiates going to war their justified in any ethics of just war (there are a couple different standards). War is not pleasant or fun or good, nobody is saying that its death and fear and no matter how hard you try to reduce civilan involvement and calateral damage the people living in the war zone are going to be affected by it.
It looks like he just found out that Aqua Dots got recalled.
Tony, First off I am a Marine NOT a soldier. Soldiers are soldiers smart guy. Kinda like sailors are sailors and airmen are airmen. You must be a reservist. I would even go as far as to say never been deployed, cause if you had ever been deployed, you would know that Marines HATE that and it would never be tolerated. You know the Marines the guys that are always in front of the army lines? You can call it a lie if you want, your opinion is irrelevant. Just because your "crowd" doesn't do it, doesn't mean no one else does. Here in St. Louis we also had a PRIEST, yes a priest, defecate on a fallen Soldiers grave in Jeffersons Barracks national cemetary. But I guess that never happened either. Welcome to reality moron. How can you see this kind of thing on the news everyday (you know the protesters and whatnot)but doubt my word? People yelling and screaming about homosexuals in the military and ruining fallen men and women's funerals over it and doubt something as small as a little spit? Sorry if I "sound" a bit angry here, but I am not very fond of being called a liar. But hey what do I know, I guess maybe everyone should just start passing judgement on people they have never met! Man, what a great idea.
Whoa Adam. i served with ssgt Hayden and I'll tell you that he was ten times the soldier you will ever be. I have watched marines fight harder for a can of Coke than for their country. As far as that lunatic priest goes, he showed up at a funeral of a friend of mine in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and if it wasn't for the police line i would have personally strangled him. are you saying that this priest spit on you, or was it some drunk in a bar defending his date from your advances? Now, stand at ease, SOLDIER!
OK Stlouie---that is enough---He knows what a Soldier is----it is his place to tell his story.....that is the problem St. Louie----we do pass judgment on people we have never met---sometimes, in your field that is a life-saving judgment and I have worked with enough "Marines" and "Soldiers" to know that for a fact. I did post that you were correct----it was not a matter of right or wrong----but a difference in opinion. My wording was a poor choice of semantics---sorry. No, I am not tracking anyone---just putting pieces together. I do know several at Quantico---on base, a teacher at the college, and a couple of agents----they would never breech protocol and I would never ask.....I do get off my mountain. Besides, Marine, you could not keep up with this feisty 68 year old witch...if you tried...isn't that right, SL..... I was impressed with your field of operations---you are higher in rank than I thought---or that Marine EGO has kept you busted...but hey, I do sleep better knowing you guys are on duty. I do fight for your rights and benifits....just ask MST Cupcake.
AdamStLouis, you said so yourself that the middle east has been at war for hundreds of years and will not stop, so than why do wwe as Americans think that we would be able to stop it anytime during our lifetime? I think our efforts should be wasted elsewhere.
Tony, you know I'm with you on this one. I am definately against the war, as are my people, and we never degrade or talk bad about the soldiers. Plus, I haven't seen footage on people spitting on soldiers since the Vietnam War.
Shelli...have you seen the nut-balls that protest the soldiers' funerals?
I've seen the footage and read the quotes. It was the most disgusting thing I've seen/read in a long time - and that includes the horse picture. You know what else is a real pi$$er? Homeless vets.
That nut-ball just got a million something dollar law-suit brought against him. I will say Amen to that one.
This is a heartwrenching moment which makes me ashamed of our society worldwide. How can anyone do this to a child and consider themselves human? War solves no problems, it only creates them. Further, I applaud the woman who has the courage to look beyond the vail! Maybe one day our politicians will grow enough of a brain (cumulatively) to find a peaceful way to provide her and the other lady enough freedom to uncover their faces completely and speak openly of the atrocities committed in the name of "faith." How long does this have to continue before we stop killing and start protecting?
Thanks, Annie...besides ending slavery, defeating the Nazis, crushing tyranny, and protecting a nation's sovereignty...what has war ever accomplished? PS: you wouldn't live in the country you do if not for war.
To AdamStLouis My boyfriend is a Marine... has been for years now, but I've only known him for two. He shares the same outlook on war as you and before we started dating I didn't think anyone in the military did (even myself when I had been in the army). I've always been very anti-war and my dad was shocked when I started dating one of "his boy" (he's very pro-bush and we get into it sometimes.) I refuse to let my dad know that my boyfriend isn't in the Marines because of the war, but for hundreds of other reasons. I know he wishes he didnt have to go to Iraq for the reasons he did, or did the things there he did... and we're both hoping with his current re-enlistment that he doesn't have to go back. Anyway at this point I'm starting to ramble, I just want to say thank you for doing what you do even with all of these ignorant people who think you do it for all the wrong reasons. Semper Fi
very well said, Mae the best to you and your Marine.
I am embarrassed with all the posts here where our Military and vets are attacking one another verbally. United we stand, divided we fall. No wonder other countries think we are a weak nation.
I agree with you on that ProudMom. Our borders are porous and we are a divided nation/society that doesn't seem to know what to do with our own freedom, let alone teach other countries about it. I really think (and it's just my opinion) that we need to get our military home and fix our nation. They are over there fighting for Iraqui Freedom and we are here at home punching holes in our own. Sigh* I think when I go home I will listen to America the Beautiful a couple dozen times. It still makes me cry.
Poor kid. War is so ridiculous. It ruins innocent people's lives. When we're children, our parents tell us not to fight and to talk out our problems. But then everyone goes around and is like, "Support the troops, war is good!" Bunch of hypocrites, every one of 'em.
Kayla: Ironic isn't it? We throw black kids in jail for fighting in highschool while we are trying to justify a new war with Iran. The sad fact is, there are too many people out there who believe both are perfectly acceptable.
As I was reading this post I couldn't help it I have to make a comment. I am from Afghanistan and I have been living in U.S. since 1985. I was fourteen years old when we left Afghanistan. I have been through Soviet occupuation of Afghanistan. Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, and right away Afghans resisted their occupation. They left shamfully in 1985. I have been through rocket shooting, bombings, and killings to know that the look in the eyes of this little boy is "Big Time Fear". I thank God everyday that my own child doesn't have to go through the things my siblings and I went through. Speaking of people of Afghanistan: we are very strong and proud people. Majority of Taliban were not Afghans. That is the reason people of Afghanistan hate them so much. By the way someone has commented above that it was taliban who attacked the World Trade Center. It wasn't taliban, but Al-Quieda (spelling?) who did that. Taliban's crime has been against Afghan people, not U.S. As I look at the picture I can see the strength of Afghan woman in it. Even though the woman whose back is toward the camera looks like she might be scared, but I think she is protecting both of her children. If you look closer you can see her face close to the older boy. The younger woman's one eye shows defience. It is saying "I dare you" I asked my husband about the people of Baluchestan (where this picture is taken), he said that they are known for their strength. The woman did not wear the head covering because taliban made them. Most Afghan women that didn't live in the city wore head covering even before taliban came, not because of religion, but because of tradition. The women of baluchistan wear only head covering. When we were leaving Afghanistan, and going to Pakistan, part of the way we had to ride on a cart pulled by a tractor. My family, and two other families sat on the cart while the tractor pulled us. We were riding through dry fields of baluchistan province when our driver noticed a Russian truck coming toward us. The truck was far away, and our driver quickly took a detour and went into a village that was near by. The village only had women, children and old men. All the young men had gone to the mountains to fight against the Russains. The women quickly hid us in their houses, and when the Russian truck came they told them proudly that the tractor belong to the village. I still remember the stregnth in their eyes and faces. The younger woman's face, in this picture, reminds me of the women we met that day. Someone else had commented that in America the women will be protecting the boy and the baby... What do you think she is doing? Please don't assume. You haven't been in a situation like this to know how it feels, so please don't think for one minute that this woman is not protecting her children. Another person commented that baluchi vally has the biggest poppy crop in the history... If they were poppy farmers then her "chadar" or head covering wouldn't have holes. From her head covering you can see that these people are very poor. Like I told the person above...Please don't assume. I love United States and I love living here. I know what some of you will say "be thankful you live here." I am thankful, but but I also love my birth country, because Afghanistan is the most beautiful country in the world. I pray to God everyday that it would be peaceful there soon, so I can go back. I do believe that it would be peaceful,because "NOW" the world cares what happens in Afghanistan, even though they didn't use to. As for the soldiers, they are doing their job. They might have scared the little boy in this picture, but I have watched many happy children on Afghan T.V. stations who run after the soldier's trucks to get chocolate. No matter how you feel about war "I HATE WAR MYSELF", the soldeirs, no matter where they are from, have helped Afghanistan one way or another.
The sadness ans fear on that child's face is heart breaking. I can only wonder what kind of scars he will grow up with and what kind of man he will turn out to be due to his experiences. It saddens me deeply, this whole war and what it bring with it. Sadness, death and destruction. I pray to God we stop destroying one another soon
War is not healthy for children and other living things. What the woman is wearing is not a hood, it's a burka, which is as much a symbol of oppression and disenfranchisement as a set of shackles. Anybody who tells you burkas are about "modesty" is full of prunes. They are about control. Since the little boy in the picture had the good luck to be born male, he will not be forced to cover his entire body from head to toe every time he sets foot outdoors. He will not be denied control over his own destiny because of his sex and spend his whole life from birth to death under the control of his father, brothers, husband and sons. He will not be denied medical care because strangers may not look at him unveiled. He will not be murdered by members of his own family to purge the stain he has brought to the family's honor by being immodest and letting a nonfamily member catch a glimps of his unveiled eye or by running away from home to escape from physical abuse at the hands of family members, by "wantonly" marrying someone not of his family's choosing or by "allowing" himself to be raped.
I must be getting old... I was an anti-war demonstrator in the Vietnam era - I was an inch within spitting on our soldiers as they came home. It was the "in" thing to do. I would take this time to apologize and beg their forgiveness now as well as to all of the innocents slaughtered as our soldiers left the country to it's own devices. War is hell. People exist who think they have the right to control others lives and destinies and create hell. They will not be changed with rhetoric. Believe it or not, only force will stop them or acceptance of their belief system by everyone. So war is hell and people suck and I don't know what God was thinking when He created us. We skin His creation alive and then turn around and kill each other. Maybe we will all find out what hell really is.
You have to wonder what emotions the boy is feeling, and how it will affect him in the future..........
Im sorry if I offend anyone, but I saw the comments the AdamStLouis made. I respect you for all the efforts and time served to this country. however i disagree with the US in the middle East. Yes there has been wars in the Middle East for hundreds of years. But thats the same in every country. or do you forget our own civil war here. Secondly religion based? Im sorry but last I heard the US invaded for political reasons. Oh and BTW the WMD are yet to be found in Iraq. Secondly I would just like to say that I pray for everyone involved in this war (yes, both sides) May Allah watch over everyone
I agree brettherevolutionary.I'm originally from Philly , and visit from time to time.That is the same look of hopelessness.People are waiting to give a child like this a crust of bread , and an idea.Called terrorism.Take a good look America.This is a terrorist seed waiting to be planted.In America we will call them murderers ,rappist ,thieves , and drug addicts.His eyes remind me of a small animal that knows he's about to be shot.
War isn't good, we know that. Even conflicts need to rest, to halt. Is this what we want our kids to inherit? a world at war, not sure if you'll live again tomorrow(or maybe in the next 2hours)... I'm just sad with this...
