to be honest.it was the vietnamese girl i thought of when i read the first post.[/QUOTE]
Same here. Do you think images from Iraq will stick in minds the way that girl's image stuck in ours?[/QUOTE]
somehow i doubt it.we are exposed to pictures of war more often now due to mass media and the internet so the images dont burn into our sub concious as being shocking.
30 years ago pictures of the hanging of saddam would of been a moment of significance and left a mental print in everyones mind,but in this day and age it doesnt have the same impact due to the over exposure of attrocities shown every minute on sky news,cnn and the like and of course sites like youtube.we as a society are getting more immune to it all.[/QUOTE]
