  • pictures of injured american children would create riots in the streets and calls for total enemy destruction. Children in pain, peril and injury create extreme reactions. We can't have that in this bloodless and coffin-free-photo war (occupation). We will never be forgiven for what we have brought to their streets...

  • True.

    But make a note that almost all the photos I post with AP,AFP, or Reuters tags are wire photos available to any news service or newspaper who subscribes.

    These horrible images are out there and are not chosen in thousands of local editorial decisions every day.

    (One more awful thought. There are roughly 75 Iraqis killed in violence each day and another 100-125 wounded. All those lives, brothers mothers, friends, children affected, and I show just a couple.)

  • These pictures are horrible. Are the US responsible for a guy who decide to kill himself screaming for Allah ?
    I do not think so. We have the same problem in western europe, we just decided to drop our pants. Radical Islam will be the cause of the next world war.
