Strick said, "More than making politics out of the photos is my revulsion at trying to make political points out of someone else's misery. It's worse than rejoicing when unemployment numbers are higher or gloating when another soldier dies. You want pain to justify your political position. To hell with the pain of the people it affects, you just want to proof you were right. That's all there is to it. "

Those are completely offensive statements, and I believe Strick owes the people he intended them for a profound apology. Strick is putting an ugly political slant on a problem that affects all humans, regardless of their political bent. It was an ugly paragraph, Strick, and I believe you should be ashamed.
