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

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.
