Pictures of the Decade : Alicia Casilio, dressed as an Iraqi civilian

Alicia Casilio, dressed as an Iraqi civilian, stands silently at an anti-Iraq war protest in Boston. As the number of Iraqi civilians killed in the war rose, so did the opposition to the U.S.-led offensive. Iraqi civilians have suffered the majority of fatalities since the 2003 invasion of Iraq although the number killed remains unclear and disputed but is believed to be at least 100,000. The war left a country already severely decayed after decades of dictatorship in ruins and triggered widespread bloodshed between once dominant Sunnis and majority Shi'ites that only began to subside in 2007.Taken Jan 11, 2007, by Brian Snyder
