America, Divided

The weekend marking the fourth anniversary of the Iraq war, thousands marched from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., across the Potomac River and to the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. Or at least the fenced in parking lot across the freeway from the Pentagon.

This protest created more controversy than the usual anti-war demonstration because the route of this one took marchers past the Arlington National Cemetery where American servicemembers are buried. Veterans and others found that offensive... and made it clear. This photo was taken in front of the cemetery.

This picture says it all. Nationalism gone wild. Great shot!

And still wild...in fact, wilder yet.
