What Roger Skinner said: "none of them spoke at all highly of George Bush... so I dont get it.. how did he get to be president and then so many americans stood by and did nothing whilst he had the troops invade.."
I don't get it either. There should be outrage here but there is none. I think we are all scared in one form or another. Some of us afraid of our own government, others fear from the propaganda our government and media spread. You are all supposed to be evil. I know better.
Peace, brother. 6 more months. I hope we make it.

And for the western word that poster has to contain also something more, namely to stop the automatic assumption that what is good for us must be also good for everybody else. ;-)
It is too naive to believe that the whole world works best by adopting western values. This has already generated much more catastrophes than the TV-news might imply.
Keep it up and keep well!

A country alive with so much culture , beauty and mystery...it is a shame what is happening in iraq. I would love to visit the middle east. I wish more Americans would open there eyes and see the beauty that is going to waste.

let the prejudice, mistrust, suspicion and fear aside, and adopt a bit more interest for the "others", the "different", and what they have to say. those are your words,I and all the good workers all over the world should make them a poster of our lives,yes dear it is the understanding of others views. my faith says(no one is a faithful,unless he likes to others what he likes for himself).thank you again and again.

Hi Saad!
Certainly we will reach the kind of understanding, and much more the kind of real interest and acceptance of what might seem "different" and "strange" to us. After so many catastrophes introduced by men of power, people already started feeling deceived, tired, and unwilling to immediately believe what those men of power are bubbling about on TV and media.
Next step will be to let the prejudice, mistrust, suspicion and fear aside, and adopt a bit more interest for the "others", the "different", and what they have to say. It takes a long time but it is a useful time to all of us when we realize at the end that Saad and Nick and Andre and Harry are nothing else than ingredients of the best cocktail ever made - namely this world.
Cheers and all the best,
Nick

Hi dear.your words have cooled my body and mind because I work at noon (now) without power,I have adapted a UPS to work with a truck 150AMP battery to give me extra time.
about your high moral opinion I could not agree more .a lot have been said, millions of honest citizens have been demonstrated against ugly horrible unfair wars but the march of modern life will still reach its final destination despite the pain,death of innocents,destruction of moral values,and civilization.we simple people will be satisfied if only our voices being heard by others. I couldn't tell you how much your fine words meant to me.to be fair about the honest lady and her husband they told me just what you have said.stay well and healthy and may the God bless you and your family. regards Saad.

It's a good "snap-portrait", one image that has both the characteristics of a just-in-time snap, and at the same time of a well thought out portrait. And that's what I find most interesting here, Saad, how you combined the two genres.
The other person at the right and all the "half" things on the edges don't disturb my eyes that much since the main character is enhanced more than enough. Very good sharpness and details especially on her face, and also a good light balance with a bit of preference on her, as it should be. This brought also some more "documentary" atmosphere.
About her saying "sorry" for the invasion and the like... that's very good indeed, because it shows that there must also be another group of citizens in the country of that ridiculous super-power. Unfortunately that group seems to be very small yet. But the apologies alone are not enough. The very fact that it is possible to most of "us" to travel to your country, or to to Turkey, or other far places, while at the same time most people of those countries do not have any such possibility, is just another hint toward a global economy that has been based to a very big part on sucking out the future of those countries for supporting the western prosperity, which at the end is the main factor that enables us to travel all over the world. We work in and for that global profit machine that steals from others and fills our own pockets. And then, to say that we go there for "experiencing other cultures", is but a very ironical, unecucated, inhuman, cold-blooded statement. I am lucky to be able to turn on the light and read at night, but the affordability of energy for me is based on the thieving of resources from people that are dying, and then I go there to see how they die and say "ooooh, I am sorry" ;-) Excuse me, that's comedy!
Instead of that waste of time we should read and think more, we should prefere to consum less, and to watch out for whom we vote, or also go to the barricades and *demand* the removal of power from the hands of analphabetic politicians that enthroned themselves just for being analphabetic politicians. Many of them are active in Greece, raising my blood pressure when they come out on TV and tell me to get a gun and go invade the Turkey, you know. :-)
So, I wouldn't only wish "health and happiness for her and her family" but also a steadily hard working mind! Else we are in danger to have our "health and happiness" at the cost of death of others.
Cheers!
Nick

you should have told her to join UF .. wow thats a big lens she has.. it looks as big as my 28-300 which weighs 3.2kgs she must be one strong gal.. nice portrait of her.. I too would crop out the girl on the rhs of the shot. What is amazing is your about.. it contains so much truth.. I dont get it. We were overseas last year and of course had lots of americans on our tours.. none of them spoke at all highly of George Bush... so I dont get it.. how did he get to be president and then so many americans stood by and did nothing whilst he had the troops invade.. it makes no sense.. Peace
