The more dissimilar our peoples are, the more we also have in common at the very core of our lives. Thank you, Chris.

It would have been a better juxt if the second picture had been of an Iraqi mother morning the death of her child killed by an American.

Hey Kevin, Kiss my camoflaged ass you liberal piece of sub-human slime.

liberal piece of sub-human slime, eh? Your ‘clever’ comment reflects badly on you. Ignorance is a weak retort.

You never know, maybe she is mourning over the death of her son killed by americans. But that is beside the point. I think the photos are meant show show that despite all the so called “differences” we have, that the war is being fought over, we are all human.

Thanks! Your comment has been submitted and will appear shortly.
