“Like most who view the images Claudia displays, I've felt edified and challenged. Claudia Lefko enacts that person to person diplomacy which can guarantee far more security for ordinary Iraqis and Americans than the U.S. government policies predicated on threat, force, and increasing hatred. Time spent with these images can greatly enhance the further invention of nonviolence.”
