I don't agree completely with the author's assessment about all these photographs being powerful, but some of them are pretty good.

This scene reminds me of the first time I saw the 2nd Original Star Wars film and the moment that Han Solo was put into the Carbon Freezer. Despair, a feeling of hopelessness, and hatred for the dark side!

makes no sense. a citation is all the posting of copyrighted material requires.
Not posting pictures on a picture thread is not only illogical it's lazy.

I don't know how to post pictures, but this is one of my favorites....it's the Iraqi child hiding behind an US Army soldier after a suicide bomb went off.
