100eyes, MardiGras360, The Human Condition Websites are Live
“”The 100eyes website is ready for visitors, you will find links for the Mardi Gras 360 Workshop and Human Condition slideshows. Both of these slideshows are quite long, in fact the Human Condition clocks in at 40minutes or so. Get some popcorn, sit back in a comfortable chair and relax. Although I doubt if I have broken much new ground in describing our species, there are some remarkable images there by photographers who are not that well known, and probably should be.”"
“”The Book: Jürgen Todenhöfer’s book is an attempt to shed light on the other side of the story. It reports on how Iraqi people talk about the war, when there are no heavily-armed GIs in the vicinity. When neither helicopters nor humvees have been “cleansing” and securing the area for hours beforehand, for politicians and press convoys. “Why do you kill, Zaid?” gives a voice to those whom Pentagon press officers never take their visitor delegations to see – members of the Iraqi resistance. The book attempts to explain why this resistance is not only fighting against American troops, but also against Al Qaeda terrorists and the foreign-backed private militias of Iraqi politicians. It aims to clarify the fundamental differences betwen resistance fighters and terrorists.
The author attempts to give a voice to those who are truly fighting for justice and freedom. The “damned of this earth”, as Frantz Fanon once called them – de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frantz_Fanon. And just as in Algeria in the 1960s, and in Afghanistan in the 1980s, these were and are – in Iraq in the year 2008 – not the occupying troops, but the resistance fighters.”"
