Eyes Wide Open comes to Columbus

Eyes Wide Open

Eyes Wide Open: An Exhibit on the Human Cost of the Iraq War was at the Ohio Statehouse from June 12th-14th. Unfortunately I was in NYC the whole time so I wasn’t able to see it. But there is some great photo and video coverage of the exhibit from other bloggers and photographers (including my Dad):

When the exhibit was here in Columbus there were 2,497 American soldiers represented on the lawn. Now that number is 2,507. Along with the estimated 100,000 Iraqi civilian casualties.

“Day by day we count the dead and dying
Ship the bodies home while the networks all keep score.

Day after day another Momma’s crying
She’s lost her precious child
To a war that has no end

Did that voice inside you say
I’ve seen this all before
It’s like Deja Vu all over again”

- John Fogerty
