This is one of the most distressing images I have seen. Each person will have his or her own interpretation. Photograph was taken by Kevin Carter, and the story behind the picture can be found at http://www.juanfernandopacheco.com, together with a collection of awsome well -known and not so well-known images. This photograph was take in 1993, during the Sudanese famine, today they have other problems with the same result.
Eienstein said " I know not what weapons will be used in World War III, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
Maybe the greatest Weapon of Mass Destruction is famine and global change.

ugh, this made me really sad. Nice posting.
I recall this photo from 2003, Kevin Carter won a few major awards for this photo. What many people don't know, is that Mr. Carter killed himself not too long after.
He was very distraught about not doing anything to help this child.
Stephen Pierce was in Singapore last week in the World Internet Mega Summit and raised over 100k for hungry children around the world in the 4 days of the summit. If you wish to make a donation, please visit http://www.foragreatercause.org/
