So I've been watching coverage of the unbelievable tragedy in Haiti. The destruction is overwhelming in those neighborhoods. There are dead bodies everywhere, and they are being shown on TV. I think that it is important that we see those images. I think it's important that the story be told.
It makes me wonder why the networks will show dead bodies when a natural disaster strikes, but not when the dead bodies are the result of war? We've seen plenty of news coverage of war over the past 8 years, but relatively few images of the resulting death. Why is that?

I almost posted a similar question yesterday. It seems the US media has no problem showing dead bodies as long as they are not Americans.

Because we caused the war deaths, either directly or indirectly, and we'd rather not be troubled to think about that.

Because in a natural disaster we cannot help the death and destruction, but of course, in war, we have chosen to kill - and be killed.
