Dirty words that I have come across often in 2004:
Collateral damage
Friendly fire
Suicide bomber
And what about "smart bombs" ? Smart bombs! Just think of the people who come up with these terms. Let us hope that there is an end to them.
A few photographs taken by me during travels far and near.

To all visitors to my musings---the regulars, occasional, and the accidental: Stay well.
