Ray,

Thanks for your kind words. I will pass onto my fellow ComCam Soldiers your words. Also I hope that one day that all of the world will know peace and images like this will be something of the past.

Saeed,

Thanks for the comments and I'm glad that I gave you a luagh, as with any good photo it should envoke some type of reaction or emotion.

Very informative image.
I think he is in a hotel because of room number written in 2 languages.
I can feel ultimate fear in his face. Perhaps the poor man did NOT want to be in that situation. Perhaps he wanted to be with his wife and children. I guess he is between rock and stone. If he protested about that unjust war, he would go under court marshall and he couldn't live peacefully the rest of his life in peace in his homeland because the society name him a coward, (USA). If he stay there he has to protect his dearest life more than 300 per cent!
It is a very bad position.
If he didn't have that ultimate fear in his face, I could say he loved to be there to shoot at people!
