Observation

 

It’s one thing to see any of the countless photos from Iraq, showing troops in all kinds of activities.  They’re commonplace, spread all over the newspaper, the internet, the television – snippets of time in a foreign place, a distinctly different pinpoint in time. 

 

Definitely not here.

 

It’s quite another to hold in your hands a photo taken by the person sitting next to you, of a pile of munitions or what looks like missile technology or a snapshot of a smiling man in uniform brandishing RPG’s.

 

It makes it all too real, all too here and now.

 

In the palm of my hand.
