The funny thing about this beautiful compilation of photographs is that a lot of them come from the files of Reuters and the AP. Why then, haven't I seen most of them before? No wait, don't answer that.
By the way, if there's an artist out there who can do the same for the Dutch troops in As Samawah, I think that would be a great idea, and I would promote it here ad nauseum (1,400 unique visitors/day).
"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer." Andrew Sullivan
