This would be a pretty good picture
...one for the history books, if it wasn't for the glow of a dozen cellphone cameras.

1. I think the glow from the phones adds something to it
more things change, the more they stay the same

and all that

5. I have to agree
There is something quite stark about the dominant orange glow of the fire pierced by the creepily bright little squares of technology.

2. But history is the recording of the moment ...
someday, perhaps, people will look at photos like that and chuckle about people having cellphones.

7. Ah. What's a good protest without burning a US embassy?

8. I don't have a program
so it's hard to tell if we're supposed to be the "good" guys or the "bad" guys here. The protesters obviously think we're the latter.
