All's fair in media and war...Or is it? Tuesdays paper ran a color photo of a mother in Iraq holding her dead six year old son who was killed in an insurgent ambush. It was a heart and gut wrenching shot that anyone would sympathize with and it emphasized the horror of war. It has become pretty common for the media to run this type of shot, seemingly to evoke outrage against the war. Then on the bottom of page three, as they are every day, are the names of those killed in Iraq. Where are the shots of the dead insurgents? Where are the body counts, even if just ballparked, of our enemy? Why is it that we are subjected every day to what the war is costing us, but rarely if ever, kept apprised of what this war is costing the enemy? A number I guarantee far outnumbers our losses, just as it has been in every war we have fought in the last 100 years. War is an ugly and horrible thing and civilized societies disdain its use. Our present enemy however, has no problem with warring...
