  1. The boy knows who will not kill him & who will save him. Look at the soldier standing upright and alert while everyone else runs!

  2. A picture of the scene after a bombing in Baghdad yesterday. • Adding to the chaos of the bombing which killed at least 21 people and injured at least 66 was a shooter, maybe targeting people in the crowd. • Amid all the Iraqis who are running from the gunfire was a U.S. soldier, standing tall, perhaps looking in the direction of the gunshots, not apparently looking for cover.

  3. An Iraqi boy seeks shelter behind the soldier, a member of the 82nd Airborne Division • The first picture shows it all. The kid's face shows he is scared to death, and he's running to the safest spot he can find: this soldier who stands between him and danger. • It would be difficult to stage a picture that provides a more potent metaphor for the role played by United States in this wretched world.

  4. That kid just did a virtual essay on "WHAT AMERICA MEANS TO ME". • SURE DIDN'T SEE THIS ON CNN, NBC, ABC, OR CBS...NOW DID YA?
