Um olhar cronológico sobre o fiasco no Iraque, especialmente as decisões tomadas na primavera de 2003 - e os antecedentes daqueles que tomam decisões - imediatamente após a derrubada de Saddam: nenhum plano de ocupação, uma equipe inadequada para governar o país, tropas insuficientes para manter a ordem, e três decretos da Casa Branca anunciados por Bremmer quando assumiu.

How can one talk about death without showing the dead? Or, experience suffering without seeing the wounds? A possible answer is found in Amer & Nasser, a video-gram excerpted from a documentary on the 1991 rebellion of Iraqi people, which turned into a bloodbath: the slow pace of the images allows us not really an observation, and investigation, of the two martyrs identity, rather it poses the questions: Why did it all happen, and Where were we? The two blindfolded faces apparently emanate serenity and resignation, but they also hide a terrible anguish. The slow pace of time, This Time, marks the steps of the sentenced ones, and the pushes and shoves of the soldiers, like it had lost its way. The slowing-down of the movement leads the mind’s way into the maze of the afflicted soul. In front of the camera-spectator, the passage of the brothers led to an army truck, while a flute announces the imminent trespass of life into death, looks like one towards the unknown.
