Iraqi Children Depict "Operation Iraqi Freedom"
I got this from my friend John. I was expecting so see primarily images of destruction at the hands of the evil whities, but it was a mixed bunch of stuff. Which made the sad ones that much sadder. Here are two that were side by side, a particularly poignant juxtaposition, I thought:
Supplied with pens, crayons, pencils and paper from New York City, we watched amazed as these very young survivors brought their experience of "Operation Iraqi Freedom" to life. When asked to provide written accounts of their beliefs, they refused - fearing the implications should Saddam Hussein return to power. The depth of these Iraqi children's reaction to America's war is measured by these powerful and compelling images.
It is amazing how children grasp reality. I personally disagree with the war in Iraq. However, I'm not sorry to see Sadam gone especially is school children age 12 and younger are afraid to write down their thoughts.
Some of the images at the site are either inspired by Zietgiest or were inspired by each other.
Since meta posted her juxtaposition here is my triad:
