2. He tends to be right a lot of the time.

I really like some of what he says. This is such a truth. Vietnam was a horror and we SAW it, even little kids at cartoon matinees saw it. It was real and happening and scary.

How can you change the horror when you don't really absorb the truth of it all?

3. Yes.

4. I still question if that would matter

There are websites now where people post pretty graphic clips of people getting killed or pictures of people after they have been killed. There was a story I remember some years back where a girl got in a car accident and was killed and somehow the pictures of the scene made it to the Internet. Some of our fellow citizens thought it would be oh so hilarious to email the girl's parents pictures of their daughter's mutilated body.

Releasing more photos/clips like that would serve as entertainment for the people who would want to look at them.

5. A Viet Nam neocon lesson

The weekly death toll and so many photos of body bags, injuries and caskets sparked national horror and protests about Viet Nam.

GWB solved this public relations glitch by simply outlawing any pictures of injury, death and caskets. Which I disagree with. We as informed citizens should know what our government is up to with all it's wars. We pay for them. We should have the right to see them.
