Yesterday's Week in Review Section in the NYT featured this picture by Joao Silva:
To me, it perfectly encapsulates the mess in Iraq. The NYT's caption labels it, in part, "the aftermath of a suicide bombing," but it's pretty clear that they chose it for its powerful symbolic value -- panicked people fleeing from a disaster, with only murkiness ahead. Nice shot.
I asked Dick Cheney what he thought the picture represented, and he said, "Cutting and running."
