Sickened by the news, by both what "we" do and what "they" do. Sickened further by the thought of how the despicable things that "they" do justify, in many people's minds, the despicable things "we" do. But I'm glad that images of the war, the real war, are finally piercing the veil of ignorance Americans draw over themselves. Images began this war and maybe only images can end it.

A mouthful of ashes.
