War sucks and in Iraq we fight, kill and die with
no end in sight. We have no economic interest in Darfur so they let mass genocide happen. Our policies proliferate hate and
action against us. In our own country; the goverment is corrupt, healthcare and
eductation are diving downhill, corporations abuse power, our poor are getting
poorer and we are slowly losing our liberties and freedoms. We are a nation controlled and blinded by fear. I wonder if the picture above is really an image representing the state of our public. It seems power, greed, and
convenience are the only things that
matter. Our nation is in a mess, a sad and disgusting cluster with no direction home. I don’t have the answers and I love this country yet we are in need of a change, revolution or something
for God’s sake.

Sean Smith, the Guardian’s
award-winning war photographer, spent nearly six weeks with the 101st Division
of the US army in Iraq.  Watch his haunting observational film that explodes the myth around the claims
that the Iraqis are preparing to take control of their own country. Watch it at the
Guardian Unlimited
