The Media

The media has played a major part in this war. It is unfortunate that half of them will report the heroism of the American army but will not actually show what is going on. If the American people could see what could was actually going on it would frighten them which is exactly why it is in a way censored. If a person in the U.S.A were to see a picture like the following,
they would freeze at the sight of it with fear, while someone in Iraq may be thinking that was my child or another little girl could be thinking the was my best friend. I blieve that if the media were to take a different approach to their story's people would see what actually happened and they will be able to make there own assessment of the situation and not be guided by the viewpoints of a person who wants to keep their job. It is a tragedy how a little girl like the one above could have that done to her when she did not even know what was going on. Its like i said in my previous post, when it comes to situations like this the end does not justify the means. A little girl should not have this and to myself it would matter if she was in the way of all the oil in the world. The war has lost morale and is forgetting that those are other human beings.
