The Wall Street Journal has a gallery of about twenty photographs by Chris Hondros taken in Afghanistan, Iraq, Liberia, and Haiti. To me, the most memorable of the group is the one below, which I saw many years ago (and probably posted at the time, though I can't find it now):
Samar Hassan screams after her parents were killed by U.S. Soldiers with the 25th Infantry Division in a shooting on January 18, 2005 in Tal Afar, Iraq. The troops fired on the Hassan family car when it unwittingly approached them during a dusk patrol in the tense northern Iraqi town. Parents Hussein and Camila Hassan were killed instantly, and a son Racan, 11, was seriously wounded in the abdomen. Racan, who lost the use of his legs, was treated later in the U.S.
There's several more "enemies for life" we've created.
