Re: Heartbreaking Picture of War
Equally moving imo, the apparently broken spirit of a starving 8 year old girl, and an attendant vulture, in the Sudan. As I recall, the photographer later regretted not helping her and took his own life.

From the title I'd say not..but you didn't have to look. Please spare me the "you missed the irony of my post" as well. I don't believe there is anything happy about war.

Nor do I. It wasn't irony either, it was sarcasm.
I know there is suffering in the world, it's a reality you can't escape from, but i could have done without the "my picture is more distressing than your picture" one up man ship displayed above.
What's the next one going to be? ISIS beheading a kid?

Sorry Pierre, didn't mean to upset you. The World is a tough old place eh?
No one-upmanship intended btw; in fact, the first words of my post were "Equally moving..." implying a parity in the visual effect of the tragedies that occurred in different parts of the World and for differing reasons.
I just thought that anyone on the forum who hadn't seen Kevin Carter's Pulitzer prize winning image might be interested. The picture was taken in 1994 and it has had extensive exposure on the internet.
I empathise with your reaction. When I first saw the image it made quite an impact on me; I suspect it will make an impact on others too.
The thread title seemed to offer appropriate warning.

Re: Heartbreaking Picture of War
I honestly believe that Mp's of any country should not have the power to send people into wars. It should be put to the people who are going to be the cannon fodder in that war to decide if its a just war. Mp's send people to there deaths but if they would have to go themselves it would be a different matter.

i doubt many mp's would be willing to send their own children to their deaths as easily as they send ours

Re: Heartbreaking Picture of War
Sorry but having been in the original desert storm these images are simplistic in that all conflict effect man, woman and child whether they be against you or not..
Perhaps if the governments of these persons in the images posted cared as much then these images would not exist.
