Offhand, I'd say that these three photographs pretty much say it all :

A relevant question might be : What is in the "mind" of this spoiled child,
looking directly into the camera ?

 
And, one might ask, what is in the "mind" of the mindless parent (of that child) ?

But, the only real question is : What is in the Mind of the elderly Iraqi man on the right ??

The eloquence of his expressive, life-informed face, staring directly into the camera
(held, no doubt by a Stranger in his "Strange Land")
simply cannot be sufficently "spun", even by the very best ChickenHawk Rovester.
This man in centered, aware of what is going on around him, penetratively inquisitive,
his son or nephew beside him, grieving for some recently killed kinsman.
I've never seen the like, myself.
Though I can well imagine that dozens of similar photographs could be found
from the Vietnam Era, perhaps from Trisha's Wedding.
Here, again, is the relevant juxtapositon:

"What we have here, is a Failure to Communicate."
Yeahrite.
