America's Brutalizing Violence
The hypocrisy of American moralism is horribly manifested by the contrast between the fuss made about a young woman's breast only momentarily displayed on TV and the bloody distorted face of the dead Zaqawi repeatedly thrust at us over and over by our media -- even on the front page of the NY Times!
Add to this the constant mind bending reports of disappeared children -- then discovered brutally killed -- and one has the real source of post traumatic stress inflicted upon our children -- salaciously pounded into them day after day simply to boost media ratings!
Needless to say, if a good percentage of our soldiers are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with disabling post traumatic stress from what they have seen (or done) there, what can be the impact on our children of our constant U.S. media drum beat of brutalizing violence?
