Great silouhette, nice crop and I echo your feelings.

The term that comes to mind is iconic.

Hi again, Mirek -

You're way better qualified than I am to comment on the war. I take your point about the 'junior staff' having been turned into scapegoats for events often largely beyond their control. As I said, though, there are a lot of armchair critics who suffer from short-term memory - and an unfinished war brings with it as many problems as it solves. Enough said by me on this: your photograph was impressive!

A decision to go to war is never an easy one. Nobody knows the future consequences and outcome. I participated in the first war as a U.S. Marine and as far as the current conflict in Iraq I have many doubts about our government real motivation. To say it straight I strongly oppose this war. However I am aganst dropping the responsibilities for the attrocieties on the shoulders of young privates, sergeants, lieutenants or capitans. They deserve recognition for their sacrifices. Thank You for Your comment

LEST WE FORGET

There's so much anti-war sentiment in Britain these days, it seems there's been a communal loss of memory over what happened to Kuwait in the early nineties.

Good photograph, which carries a symbolic air with it.
