Hold Me!
Baghdad, Iraq  2002

      I wish all those who make decisions to go to war could hold one of these little ones and look into their parent’s eyes. The only indication that this child was ill was the I.V. that can barely be seen in the picture. This woman’s friendliness and her child’s inquisitiveness were quite disarming. The child was smiling and at ease around strangers who spoke a foreign language and pointed imposing cameras at them.
