It's a daddy comforting his son, isn't it?

That's all it is.

It isn't a political image, it's an intrusion into a touching, chaotic scene, and it's sad.

It shows the impact of war and on otherwise normal people, and it shows that parents love their kids, and kids love their parents when all else falls apart around them.

I hope and pray they both survived their ordeal, and that they are together today.

And I hope and pray that me and my kids are never the subject of such a picture.

I think the father in that picture is just envious of his kid -- because the father is wearing a pair of "Air Apostle" sandals and the kid is wearing a pair of "Air Jordan" sneakers.
