Grisly Photographs

* Grisly pictures of Americans got us out of Vietnam.

Grisly pictures of Somalis got us into Somalia.

Grisly pictures of Americans are getting us out of Somalia.

Grisly pictures of Bosnians are getting us into Bosnia.

Grisly pictures sure have become powerful weapons.

It seems that when things get tough, as shown in grisly pictures of others, we engage. However, it seems that when things get tough, as shown in grisly pictures of Americans, we quit.

We seem to be very easy to manipulate with grisly pictures.

I am not sure that bodes well for the future.
