Just been looking through the BBC web site for any "graphic" images and i cannot find any there. Maybe they are censored too?
Censorship is not just happening in the US, but around the World. The link you posted sent me to an Italian site. Not sure if its a reputable source run by any reputable media network.

I think people Should see pictures of Accidents and they would Think TWICE when driving too fast or Ignoring any of the Traffic Signs and Endagering Themselves and Others in the Traffic. With the Images in their heads they would drive VERY carefully and would Never drink&drive, don't you think so?

BBC is English and GB has to provide good Image of the War also - after all they are second largest Army in the Coalition Forces and America's Ally.
And which link sent you to an Italin site?
Salon.com is from San Francisco, USA.

You see. you recalled an incident from the past. but in all honesty, did it slow you down, make you drive safer? At the time it did, because it was fresh in your mind.

Soulja has pointed out an important fact here. Its something
that some of you might have missed over the years. People
actually get killed in wars. For you faint of heart that can't
take this, you should probably not join the military, but take
heart in the fact that you don't have to. Many of us will do the
job for you and you can sit at home and wring your hands over
how terrible it is. That's the beauty of America. The hand
wringers can do their thing, and I'm proud to say that us
butt kickers can do ours. I'm very proud of the fact that I was
able to go off to war and not "lose it" as apparently some
seem to.

The power of graphic photos can be shown by the sex talks given in the British Army in the 1950's.
The conscripts were shown pictures of clap ridden genitalia. truley revolting stuff. They were told that this is what would happen if they slept with the local ladies of negotiable affection.
Unsurprisingly it worked, men lived in fear for their manhood!

Skippy, you could probably find images just like that from when the Soviets were in Afghanistan and I'm sure there were similar images when the US was in Vietnam. A few smiling children doesn't mean there's a majority support for the US in Iraq.
Read the following article about the Soviets in Afghanistan that was printed by the Washington Times in 1987:
Afghans learning to read, but lessons laud Soviets

Wow nice pics skippytjc! Where did you get them from FOX NEWS? I was wondering do you have any pictures of U.S soldiers handing out candy for the cameras as they get blown up by a suicide bomber? Or is the place to get those from somewhere like here as opposed U.S propaganda archive-someone’s record of heroic duty in crime wave Iraq?

These pics that I post are an actual side of this war as well. PERIOD. If you choose to ignore the good side of this conflict and focus on the negative side then thats your own shortcoming.
