With any story or situation, that is given a huge amount of media coverage, day in and day out, eventually you start to become numb to the whole process. Another war, another causality, another attempt at a peace deal. It’s a sad fact, but when you continously repeat the same story, no matter how important, people eventually stop listening, desensitized to it.

That’s why it’s important that you look at the recent scenes from Afghanistan, a collection of powerful photos taken for the Boston newspaper. They are compelling, frightening, heart-warming and sad. Real life out there, in one of the most hostile parts of the world, combines all those elements and more.

I was deeply moved and impressed with these photos and I hope that amongst all the news reports and token coverage, that the photos show you a new side to the situation happening in Afghanistan. They certainly did for me.

“The time has come, to set aside childish things, the time has come to choose our better history and to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea passed on from generation to generation, that God-given promise that all are equal, all are free and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.”

I’m so happy for America, for Obama and for the world right now. Read more here
