I stumbled across a blog written by a women in Lebanon and saw a series of though provoking photographs.  You may be aware that Lebanon is in a war zone and its citizens die on a daily basis due to violence. The photographs depicted an severely wounded mother giving her son a final embrace before giving out her last breathe. The link is available here. (Warning: the pictures may be gruesome to some of you.)

We seldom think about the human angle when we read about war in other countries.  Maybe we should do it more frequently from now onwards.   If we start to factor the suffering of innocent civilians caught in a war, it should not be difficult to realise that violence can never be the solution.

May peace prevails.
