Iraq War Diary
Anbar Province Suicide Bombing - Zoriah's Eyewitness Account - Iraq War Diary
My hands still shake and my heart pounds despite my fatigue. A combination of depression, fear, and adrenaline makes my thoughts race with the realization that a simple decision was the only thing that seperated me from a body count that grows daily. I look at the images I took on the 26th of June, and realize they do nothing to capture the emotion of being an eyewitness to the aftermath of the Al-Qaeda suicide attack in Karmah/Garma... the smell... the sound of screams and crying.** warning, graphic images
I want you to observe and comprehend what others live through on a daily basis -- to see what the Iraqi civilians and foreign soldiers see. I want people who follow my photography to understand that although I am able to bring images of war to the world in a form of art, what actually goes on here is horror. My message is not that war yields great photography. My message is: War yields human misery and suffering.
My eyewitness report and the images contained in the link below are extremely graphic. To see the reality of the Iraq War -- please read and view my entire post.

Video View Points on the Middle East
(Great history lesson, but there are some statements and views (on 9/11) in this video that many now don't agree with)
THE EMPIRE STRIKES OUT (2005)
"American and British forces swept into Iraq they were generally met with smiles and waves. But events did not turn out exactly as planned. The American troops began to suffer losses at the hands of the people they had supposedly liberated, and as U.S. casualties began to mount, the military began an aggressive campaign to root out the insurgency. The Empire Strikes Out includes a 5000 year overview of Mesopotamian history and examines the motives behind the invasion of Iraq in 2003. We hear from experts on international law and regional political analysts, and we also hear the Iraqi people give their own interpretation of what is happening to their country."
