Grozny: The Belyakov Photo

This photograph of downtown Grozny taken in February 2000, after the Russians stormed the city is a chilling image that haunts me to this day. I cannot find a better copy anywhere on the web, but when it was on the front cover of the NY Times (or perhaps the LA Times), it had a devastating impact. Wretchard reminds us, on this, my patriotic Wednesday, how we do in Iraq as compared to the Russians.
