The roof of 22 Gia Long Street


I am haunted by this image. What will be the iconic image that will represent the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq? Will the image be recorded tomorrow or fifteen years from now? In this age of twitter, perhaps there will not be an image, but a multimedia pastiche. Is that memorable? If there is not one meaningful image to recall, how will people remember?

  2. Hopefully there will not be the urgency in Iraq as with VN withdrawal. I am sure there will be something captured. The difference today, more people are aware of what is going on almost the moment it happens.
