I was really touched by the picture of the Bosnian women crying over the coffins of their relatives who were killed in the Bosnian Genocide. Also by the picture in which the skulls of the Rwandan Genocide victims are stacked. It is really sad that after the Holocaust so many terrible genocides have occurred, including the one that is currently going on in Sudan. Let's all hope and pray that in this upcoming decade these terrible crimes will not be repeated.
@ Simon #108 "where are the photographs of the positive and inspirational events of the decade?"
What positive and inspirational events? Name some that compare, in terms of significance and news-worthiness, to the terrible and violent events pictured here.
who need paris hilton-we got tiger woods now, much more exciting!
these photos are so moving. im crying at my desk. we are so lucky to be kiwis.
The question is really what would the human race do without violence, war and disaster. And paris hilton I suppose.
2000-2009 (inclusive) is 10 years, and 2001-2010 (inclusive) is 10 years. Either one of those is a decade, so everyone's right : )
If you want to be 'correct', you'd count 2001-2010 as The Decade, given that you don't start counting anything at zero. But people like grouping things in a way that looks nice - so we tend to group all the years starting with two-zero-zero as one decade - 2000 to 2009. 2010 doesn't seem to fit because the first three digits are two-zero-one.
Let's stop bickering about what's right and who's stupid and instead get back to the point of these amazing, thought-provoking images of world events from the past 10 years.
Oh, and to deviate from the point again, decade is NOT pronounced the same as decayed. Emphasis on the first syllable please. Thanks
I'm sorry, this is ridiculous - in only one case have you credited the photographer, and yet they individually risk their lives to bring these images back for our viewing. Every single photographer deserves identification (indeed, legally they're entitled to it under NZ's Copyright Act) - not just Finbarr O'Reilly, and certainly not just 'Reuters'.
#112 Reuters are the idiots if it is the decades best photos. The decade runs 2001, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06 ,07, 08, 09, 2010 as there was no year 0 A.D. so a year left for more depressing photos.
#112. I think you might want to re-read the posts. 1st year AD was 1 not 0. So first year of the decade should be 2001 not 2000. Now try counting and see where you finish. Unless there were only 9 years in the first decade AD.
