The photo above was taken by Eugene Richards as part of a series he is developing with The Nation Institute. Sgt. José Pequeño who suffered a devastating brain injury from a grenade tossed into his Humvee in March 2006, is in his mother's arms.
There are few more visceral reminders of the senselessness of the Iraq campaign. Given the angle, Pequeno's brain injury draws an unavoidable analogy between war and the capacity for thought. Ultimately, there is no rationalizing or comparing one devastating form of injury with another. In Sgt. Pequeno's case, however, the war literally caused him to lose his mind.

War stories
Re: War stories
How much longer does America have to be the leader of the free world.
The Free world, what countries are part of the free world? Germany, Bhutan, England come to mind. Which countries are in the un-free world. North Korea comes to mind.
Is it such a great honor to be the leader of the free world?
I feel like the two thousand year old man.
