I'm surprised by your reaction, OSMANLI. These photographs made me more sympathetic to the American soldiers. They're heartwrenching but beautiful. And this soldier took the time to show the suffering on all sides - American soliders, Iraqi insurgents, Iraqi civilians - everyone. That takes a lot of heart and you can see in the photos he feels for the people he's photographing.

I just think they're beautiful and it really makes you think. It just cut into my heart a little bit, but I wouldn't consider this anti-war propaganda or anything of that nature. I wouldn't expect it to change any opinions, that's what I like about it.

I'd hope Ghengis, Maju, and everyone else could look at these pictures and feel something, without it really impacting how they view the war in terms of whether or not it was necessary. Just...bringing it home to them, you know?

I think pro-war Americans can look at these pictures and be touched and proud, and anti-war Europeans can look at these pictures and feel touched and proud - for completely different reasons.

Where the soldiers crying due to their fellow soldiers death or because of the death of Iraqis?

Also if they feel so bad at the going on in Iraq and yet they still carry on with the same action then they are even worse then they originally were. Since they have seen the error of their ways and yet are continiuing to act in the same manner.

They should rather be a conscientious objector. Then they would have my full respect.

I think there is enough empathy in a G.I. to feel for both his comrades and civilians.  No one is enjoying this.
