This page is dedicated to the late Ali Hussein
& all the other children of Iraq so tragically affected by this war.
And to the hundreds of thousands of American fighters
who have faithfully discharged the duties
thrust upon them by their Commander in Chief.

My heart weeps for the children...
& shares the pain of the soldiers
upon whom this horrible burden has been placed.

Back to topAli Hussein is pulled from the rubble of his home after a U.S. airstrike in Baghdad's Sadr City. The 2-year-old died at a hospital.

My apologies to Karim Kadim,
who took this heart-wrenching photograph,
the Associated Press,
and the Washington Post
from whom I have blatantly stolen it.
I'll remove it upon request.
In the meantime, its powerful & tragic message
demands the widest possible dissemination.
