Pictures of the Week: June 30 - July 6
The photograph of the children in Baghdad as they stage a mock execution of a frightened 4-year-old boy is a disturbing image. As children's games are increasingly influenced by the violence that has become part of their daily lives, one must wonder if they will grow to resent the circumstances that surround them or if they will merely become immune to it. What do you think? Child's play or tragedy?
See all of this week's compelling photography from around the world in our Pictures of the Week photo gallery.

These are precisely the type of photos people need to me made aware of...and that's why journalistic freedom is important. They force us to see reality that we would rather hide from - they force us to face the brutal, and ultimately tragic, facts about the world WE have created. To shy away from images like this, is to shirk our responsibilty. We should acknowledge the legacy we have created for future generations. And be asking ourselves, "What can we do to change it?"

This should never even been up for photo of the week. The parents and anyone thinking of publishing the photo should be put in that situation and made to feel the fear shown in the middle childs face!!! Totally uncalled for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who took it and why didn't they tear it up before anyone could see it.

So sad and tragic that this is all the children know.
