Picture of the Year International

POYI is in the process of announcing its awards over the coming three weeks. The above photograph (not yet attributed publicly to a photographer) was given the Award of Excellence in the Human Conflict category.

Here's the photograph's caption:

"ANGRY CHILD" An Iraqi boy looks out from a room where women and children are sequestered at Sgt.Trevor Warrior of the 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment of the Second Infantry Division (the 'Stryker Brigade') December 2, 2006 in the tense Shulah neighborhood of Baghdad, Iraq. Soldiers with the 1-23 were searching house-to-house for weapons or other insurgency-related items, and women and children of the house usually are placed in a separate room from men during these searches.

Here's what I would add to the caption: The child will not forget his anger nor his fear. The women will not forget the humiliation. No one in the Middle East forgets.
