If people were exposed to the horrors of war then we would be much more reluctant to promote killing each other and spending money on the war machine. If DU'ers who are pushing for war get upset over seeing a photo of such horrors then maybe they need to rethink their philosophy. Turning ones eyes away from reality does no one any favors. Maybe future wars will be avoided once people wake up to the horrors of war.
