Don't turn away

The Washington Post has a photo section titled Camera Works. I'm looking at these pictures, of women saying goodbye to their children before shipping out, or kids not so much older than me pointing M16s at bunches of Iraqis sitting on the road, of people dead in the dust and sand, of a middle aged woman with rings on her fingers holding up a gun, of a man whose daughter is missing, of the Danish Prime Minister covered in red paint, of protestors in plastic cuffs, of a nine year old girl covered in bandages, of Bush sitting in a godawful ugly chair at Camp David with Blair, of buildings burning and explosions and blood and death and destruction and this had better be worth it, this had fucking better be worth it, do you hear me?

I have the same feeling about it. Even though I cling to the slender thread of hope that perhaps in the end some good will come of it. Though it seems so bleak.
