Indeed war can be suffering. Even when we fail to learn the lessons of history.

I like the motif. I was just thinking that it maybe would have been more believable if he wasn't so centered in the picture... I'm just picturing a guy breaking down in tears while another one carefully sets up his camera to get the perfect shot of him.

Thank you!Β 

*laughs*Β  Good point.Β  I actually could have un-centered the photo using the borders, but I didn't even think about that.Β  These pics that I post weren't taken by me...I'm just the editor.Β  You can see more of them in APCR 's wonderful gallery!
