   Interesting clip, although not all that great. It does bring to mind some sad facts about this war going on in the Middle East though. The majority of Americans don't support this war or even our own president, yet it's still going on. The main problem is, we as the citizens of the United States don't have any real power to end this war. Only our government can, and I think a lot of people outside the U.S. don't understand this. We support our troops because they are our brothers, sisters, our family. And they are just out there following orders.

I dont believe that we should still be out there, but support the troops whilst they still are. Well said.

   Thanks for the moving images. I hope that the Americans that have looked the other way/blindly listened to our "leaders", will wake up soon. I thought when he was "elected" (he stole it), he could only do a little harm in 8 years. Boy was I wrong.

Please back up false claims with fact, or just don't make stupid comments you know nothing about. I'm not a Bush lover, I just get tired of the media in this country force feeding everyone bullshit (on both sides don't fool yourself RED/BlUE). Then people just passing on and taking it as fact. If you don't see the need to have a strategic point in the middle east then you're blind. Unless someone wants to jump start the US on getting off the bottle it suckles of middle eastern oil,then we have to do some clean up work to insure the saftey of our economy. To do this we must knock out the haters (Saddam Regim), and spawn a new government. We just kind of jump started, and did a lot of the work of a much needed civil war in Iraq. I know war is ugly and bad, but for the Iraqis really was there another choice?........ Please Please no before the US "invaded" Iraq, it was stable comments. Read about Saddam he was no real leader, and I would piss on his grave if I could. Learn about the Iraqi government before we were there don't just shove the shit in your mouth you see on TV. Oh yes the real life Truman Show we live in....

    the image at around 1:34/35 really hit me hard inside... This war is more then just a faraway ordeal and for myself included, it has become extremely personal for so many. Too many soldiers are dying and we are all becoming disillusioned by that. When my physics teacher was killed in Iraq and my school went to pay their respect, it was probably the worst experience i ever had, looking at his parents. No mother or father should ever experience the death of their own child.

    i love the image of the soldier holding a machine gun with the bright orange sunset behind him at 21 seconds,as a photographer i would be proud to have taken such a stunning and moving picture.

Each one of you has a voice and is a power to be reckoned with. When was the last time there was civil protesting on a large mass? When was the last time there was a march of thousands on the whitehouse demanding change? The fact of the matter is everyone can say they care and that they want change, but unless people actually go out and try to change things it doesnt matter.
