As for me, I have the memory of an asian girl child, engulfed in stormy and muddy water after a flood, having a hand up for help, holding herself to a branch or something similar with the other hand, not to go under the water. The picture of this girl went all over the world. I hope the journalist who got the money for the picture of this dying girl, made good use of it.

There is a very famous photo of a South Vietnamese officer blowing off the head of a Viet Cong fighter on a Saigon street. This is quite offensive to view but it is nonetheless one of the most important photos of the last 35 years. Would you want this famous picture to be pushed out of an article on Vietnam due to its terrible content? Similarly, there is a ghastly photo of a naked young child running down a road with severe burns from napalm. A horrible picture, but one that should not be pushed aside.
Both of those pictures had already crossed my mind as I was considering this subject.
