21 Days to Baghdad
Now  that Saddam Hussein has been captured, what's next? As an uncertain future hangs over Iraq and the war on terror, TIME takes us back to the first 21 days of battle with a unique photo montage. In contrast to the barrage of articles, op-eds, and sound bites we've endured, this site's dramatic images do the talking. Day 1 begins ominously with the terror-filled eyes of a U.S. soldier wearing a gas mask, providing a lead-in to the first week of devastation and death. On Day 8, we see the plight of Kurdish refugees. Day 9 the signs of guerrilla warfare, and Day 11 the wary smiles of villagers in Tahrir. As the days go by, the complex battlefront is revealed. Day 21 ends with the satisfying image of Saddam's statue toppled by Iraqis, but one can only wonder when the reconstruction of Iraq will be complete. (in Photojournalism) |
