A young boy seeks shelter behind a soldier with the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne division after gunshots rang out at the scene where just a few minutes earlier a suicide car bomber blew himself up in a busy commercial district in central Baghdad on Monday, May 28, 2007, killing at least 21 people and wounding 66, police and hospital officials said.

I found this set of photos earlier while doing my usual morning web browsing. What I observe is that; in the midst of the chaos and crowd, the boy seeks the protection of the American soldier. Now why would the boy seek the protection of a man who the anti American entertainers, educators and politicians gleefully label our military as terrorists, incompetent and losers? The boy is actually experiencing this event and chooses the soldier to shield him. The vile people here in the US probably have never been to Iraq yet they expect the general population to believe their distortions, outright lies and arrogant foolishness.
