    Nice Pic, I'm just interested to know How mister Chuck would know what the lady in pink is thinking...Very uneducated remark to make regarding a situation in a country he has no understanding or knowledge about. Seeing as what is transpiring in this photo has been going on for close to 15 years, I'm sure that's the last thing she was thinking about.

    Thanks for the remarks and yes the message here is that after the past we have learned to live as one and not black nor white. The contrast of past with the future is clearly shown here.
