...walk among unburied corpses, live on canned goods scavenged from wrecked houses, and hide from cannibalistic gangs--"men who would eat your children in front of your eyes"--who are all that's left of human civilization. The man's only goals are these: to remember a happy day on a lake with his uncle, to resist the temptation of suicide (the boy's mother gave in to it), and to crush all goodness and empathy in his son, so he won't waste their precious resources helping fellow survivors...
...Dujaili, another witness, was attacked in the middle of Dujail. Ahmed's nephew Husam was killed while protecting Ali. When Ahmed's younger brother Jaafer came to collect Husam's body, a sniper lying in wait put several bullets in Jaafer's legs. Jaafer lived but will always walk with a severe limp. He is among the lucky ones. The town's mayor, Haji Mohammed Hassan al-Zubeidy, says some 180 people have been murdered in Dujail since Saddam's trial began in October 2005.

JFK Street was Boylston Street, with a Mobil station and Vespa dealer. A vast trolley yard stood where the KSG now stands, and Quincy was under construction. Radcliffe and Harvard shared only classes, and few extracurricular groups were co-ed. Two years after Brown v. Board of Education, we were almost entirely white, disproportionately preppies, and insensitive to both the discomfort...
...gone on for twenty years,” Boston said. “Nine percent of the population is trapped in these camps, where 95 percent of the residents live in abject poverty, where thousands die every month of disease and malnutrition, where the children are forced to walk miles and miles every night to escape abduction by the armies.” After Boston’s presentation, keynote speaker Omara-Otunni took the podium and began his address by summarizing the history of conflict on the African continent, spanning from the European “Scramble for Africa?...
