Images to horrible for 'The Public' to see...

OK, I get his point. But maybe if these were shown on TV, at cinemas, on the big screens in football grounds, baseball stadiums and The Olympics, put out on the electronic billboards in Times Sq, Piccadilly Circus and whatever all the the Russian equivalents are, then public opinion could be motivated enough and accurately directed sufficiently at pushing their leaders to actually stop this right now. Perhaps?

No they will not. Children can be made again and cities rebuild.

Are those the images? The images and the video fall way below my threshhold of 'too horrible to see..', people should be shown this kind of thing or at least be given the opportunity to see the effects of a cluster bomb. I have no idea if it will change anyone's mind but that is no excuse not to give people an opportunity to witness what goes on in 'war'.

Those are it? Terrible for the people in the pictures; "G" rated for what war actually does to people.

These little reminders of why I left 'straya all those years ago are quite comforting. They convice me that I did the right thing.

This type of media content (albeit less graphic) had power 45 years ago during The Viet Nam War when the general public had newspapers and a few TV channels to tune into for their information. Too much media dilution today. Present an issue that threatened to disrupt the public's connection to their Smartphones or flow of morning coffee and you'd likely get a large-scale response for intervention.
