New American War





September 11, 2001 was the beginning of an uncertain war. The galleries here are an attempt to document the experience from an American perspective.

My friends from Iraq took a 2 week vacation to be with their familys.
They said " At last, we can go back home and be with our remaining familys, we will be safe now thanks to the US intervention of the Sadamm regime! Also said. "We love the United States for helping us be FREE! Our mothers and sisters were freed when the US troops took over Sadamm's Castles...we are so happy "BUSH" decided to take action against Sadamm!
This is coming from people that lived in IRAQ or do you believe the LIBERAL MEDIA?

Would you feel different about the War in Iraq if 100,000 people were killed in the 911 attack? We have to let the 3rd. world countries know that we mean business and we will attack any country that support these Terrorist. I personally know 2 Iraq citizens that fled to the US during Hussen's regime. They told me about their life in Iraq and the fear they always lived under. Both of these Iraq citizens have scars from being in Sadamm's prison, why were they put in prison? Because, they resisted to an attack on their family! Fathers killed, Mothers and sisters were RAPED and taken as hostage to serve for Sadamm in one of his castles. I asked them if there are weapons of mass distruction in their country, they looked at me with open eyes and said, WHAT! Of course there are weapons such as these, Sadamm used these weapons to kill thousands of Iraq citizens that resisted him! Sadamm hid the weapons before the attack on Iraq we know this to be a fact! If anyone does not believe this is not properly informed they said!

Beth,
Your right to display your galleries are certainly guaranteed by the Constitution, and your photographic talent and vision certainly seems to provoke diverse opinions. The ability right to express our opinions is also guaranteed and so is your right to make people think. We can support our troops and disagree with the governments policies.
The cost of the war will not be the dollars spent by the government, but the toll it takes on the lives of the combatants and their families. Patriotism and the way people choose to display it, only indicates we love this country. Your photography exudes love of country.
Fortunately, we settle most of our disputes in this country, at the ballot box. The people are allowed to discuss, decide, and vote to change the policies of the government, and we will. We will all decide the path to the future. The majority will decide the fate of our country, and life will go on.
Politics and religion spur friction, and heated debate, but our country thrives on debate, democracy, and freedom. Heated debate is an integral part of our system of government that helps us choose our leaders. Those who would like to stifle debate don't understand the freedoms we have fought in the past to protect.
Keep up the GREAT work, you have unusual talent to spark debate with photography, and creative ability to make people think. I found your galleries thought provoking, interesting, and fun to explore. I'll certainly revisit to see what's new, and think.

Best regards,
John Connor

Keep on keeping on.
Peace,

PS I tuned in to see the "Main Light Houses" and got side tracked.
Wonderful galleries!

Good for you, Beth! What a wonderful monument to peace and true patriotism you have created in these two galleries! I was heartened to browse these thoughtful and well-done images. It's good to know you feel much the same as I do about the terrible course this administation has set before us. I am much more afraid of our government and it's hidden agenda than any terrorists! Thanks for sharing these! Kim
