The little naked girl in the picture was later named UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and recently received an honorary Doctorate of Laws from York University in Ontario, Canada. Pretty damned impressive for a burnt naked little girl who was dying!

She's done more good deeds to the world than Paris Hilton even if Paris lived to be 1 billion years old. And let's not even compare their intelligence quotients.

Really interesting read and it's hard to believe that the same photographer took both pictures.

there is nothing more powerful in this universe than the human spirit.

"1996, she gave a speech at the United States Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Veterans Day. During the speech she said that we cannot change the past but can work for a peaceful future. After the speech, Vietnam war veteran John Plummer talked to some of his old friends and got them to ask Kim if she would like to meet him, for he stated that he was the one who ordered the bombing. She accepted and they met briefly and Kim forgave Plummer."

see bold for the difference between an american and every other nationality.
