Description
Today, somewhere in the world, people are being killed. In the Sudan, they are called Christians. In Afganistan and Iraq, they are called Muslims. Somewhere in the world, today, someone has been ripped from the fabric of his or her ordinary existence--disappears on the most flimsy, most transparent of excuses and flung into a world stripped of all mercy, all human rights; subjected to physical and mental torture; detained in a limbo of hopelessness and degradation.
They are given all sorts of labels that have no meaning for the victim: terrorist, agitator, traitor, rebel, criminal, infidel, apostate, socially unadjusted.... Such labels have little meaning for their captors as well, but they are convenient, expedient, infinitely usable.
It all comes down to "Us" and "Them;" the primal fear of the alien other.
When will this sickness--this insanity--stop? When will we realize and accept that we are all brothers and sisters of the same family? That we are all children of the same biosphere--the biosphere of Earth?

Good composition and emotional pose. Thought provoking.
The globalization of communications such as the internet and satelite Communications is slowly helping, But I'm afraid it will take another 500 years or more before humans realize That we have heaven and hell right here on earth and if we don't destroy ourselves there will be a day when we will all come together, It could have happened already, Can you imagine how may diseases could have been wiped out completely and hunger no longer exists if the "Uncountable" amounts of money we have spent on war technology would have been spent on research to wipe out the bad things in life instead of finding more efficient was to kill each other???, Humans are the most intelligent species on earth yet the most stupid. This is a Great thought provoking image. Cheers, Roger
