Five Years of the Iraq War by Reuters
March 19, 2008
If you have some time, go and take a look to this multimedia from Reuters: 5 years covering the Iraq war. Don't miss the "profile" section, with three photographers speaking about their experience covering the Iraq war, the most deadly war for journalists, by a large margin.
While looking at these images, and listening to the photographers, I can't avoid but to feel disgusted about what human beings can do and how much they can hate. While thousands of people die from extreme poverty and preventable causes everyday in the world, some keep thinking that we need to push this number higher and expend immense amounts of money to kill each other in the name of _______! (fill-in with any damn excuse you like: god, freedom, justice, revenge, rights, liberation, religion, terrorism, self-defense, etc).
Our shame, indeed.
