I have heard very few intelligent responses to those
images. Most are immotive and impassioned, understandably.
But if there were more reporters, covering 'terrorist' acts
currently going on, daily, in other parts of the world,
maybe they wouldn't seem so shocking...or would they? I
guess much of the time it depends who is receiving the
images...if it is 'the good guys' who have been attacked it
seems to make a difference...
