American soldier kill Iraqi child and then hug him

Before one puts "#######" on the internet, research first what the propaganda is that you are going to put.

The original photo was taken by Michael Yon in Iraq in 2005.

The following link Times picture of the week explains what the picture is and why it was taken.

From Michael Yon himself "It was an instant of clarity in a blur of chaos that, for many of us, frames and defines the nature of this war. Any US soldier who has ever served in combat can probably give countless examples of moments like this. I just happened to be on the scene that day when a terrorist who had been trailing a Deuce Four patrol in a car packed with explosives waited until a crowd of children had gathered around the soldiers and selected that moment to drive into the crowd and detonate. Although little remained of him to be shown in this frame, the image somehow still reveals the true nature of our enemy in this war."

His words give the lie to what Al Queda would have you believe.

Whether the war is right or wrong I have no desire to debate but I do resent people denigrating the US armed forces undeservedly.

They didn't close it. They moved it to a more appropriate forum. It's still here. You're still posting freely in it.

Maybe...

He remembers the child he has left at home...

He regrets that the Muslim fanatics killed him....

He regrets that the insurgents used the child as a shield....

May God bless this child....
