good job so far guys.

 

I was going to post that pic, but being in this overly-cautious world, the mod's would have considered it child porn and killed me.

 

Anyway, here is possibly the most iconic shot of the 20th century

You're right, but that still doesn't give US soldiers the right to do such gruesome things.

I wish I was older when this happened so I could have actually understood it.

I don't know of any famous images from the Rwandan Genocide, but that's what's left from it. 1 million people died I think. That's 1/6th of the hollocaust.
