TV screens show a North Korean newscaster reading a statement from the North’s Nuclear Weapons Institute
It is often forgotten that the stark and terrifying fact that North Korea’s bellicose, erratic and authoritarian regime possesses nuclear weapons is in part the result of President Bush’s decision to invade Iraq, according to observers. U.S. invasions and military actions around the globe continue to make the world a more dangerous place.

Today marks the one year anniversary of Alan Kurdi’s death, the Syrian toddler immortalized in a chilling photograph on a Turkish beach — a symbol of the cost of the refugee crisis. His father said this week that he didn’t believe the international attention ultimately made any difference. This picture is the only hope I have to think he may be wrong.

Caroline Wozniacki, of Denmark, kicks the ball after hitting a shot into the net
Julie Jacobson’s photograph is an exercise in frustration. The symmetry of the lines on the court and the net appear to box Caroline Wozniacki in, such that even though the viewer knows her frustration relates to a botched shot, it also seems more profound than that. Wozniacki’s kicking of the ball suggests an act of defiance against that symmetry, an attempt to break free from it — which only makes its result all the more disheartening, as the ball strikes and stretches the net without actually damaging it. Moreover, the extreme angle from which Jacobson shoots Wozniacki suggests an almost omniscient perspective, as if the viewer is somehow complicit in the act of trapping her, and perhaps even takes some small joy from her desperation.
