“Iraqi Child in Acclaimed War Photo Tries to Move On”

I am surprised that this photograph was shielded from her for 6 years. The story is cruel. It appears that she was shown the photograph for the time in in front of a camera (and hence strangers). And her story is not a happy one, and I can’t help but wonder how this article and attention will not re-inflict the pain. Will this help her “move on?’
