My blood just ran cold on seeing the below picture.

An Iraqi women hugging her dying son. Here is the description from the photojournalism website

A woman takes her dead son into her arms, as she grieves for her six-year-old son, Dhiya Thamer, who was killed when their family car came under fire by unknown gunmen in Baqouba, capital of Iraq's Diyala province, 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad, Iraq, on Sunday, Sept. 16, 2007. The boy's ten-year old brother, Qusay, was injured in the attack as the family returned from enrolling the children in school, where Dhiya was to begin his first year. "Last Touch"

The mother looking straight into the kid's eyes and the little child catching hold of his mother tells us all the tale about the life in Iraq. What have this kids done to deserve such a life. How many civilian lives have been lost due to this stupid war. The American soldiers did not kill this kid, alright, but who is responsible for the rise of insurgents in Iraq?

America, Please choose a good president this time. We don't want to see the one who says this or the one who still defends her war on Iraq vote.
