Born at the Crest of the Empire: Picture of the Day

There's a very sad picture. And one that GW wouldn't hesitate to bring here, right after he got rid of those pesky child labor laws.

Unfortunately, this was unlabelled in a collection of Iraq pictures. I would be very curious if he was Sunni or Shia in the militia, neighborhood protection or what.

Also, the badge intrigued me. A picture of Sadr? An ID? A relative?

Can I post this and give you credit? It is so disturbing...it breaks my heart.

Honestly, it's not my picture. I found it off an italian website awhile back. I know nothing about it's provenance.

I'm a big believer in spreading the images of this war, because they are not being reproduced in the US.

So, feel free. Link if you want, don't if you don't.

I don't own it, so it's up to your discretion.
