We should not hide from the horrid truth of the wars our policies help fuel. He is right to share them so that more people will awaken to the horror and do something about it.

We sit safe in our homes this holiday season while so many around the world suffer. Telling people about suffering doesn't seem to work. Talking about it fails. Trying to get governments to rise to action fails.

Maybe those little one's lives lost can instil outrage in those who see them and lead them to take action or to demand that their countries take action.

It obviously woke this man up.

So him posting a photo of a dead child is bad, but the news spamming the photos of the dead toddler at the beach is ah-okay.

Good point Maria M. Nothing like a bit of SHOCK TREATMENT to wake the world to what's REALLY going on.

“I don’t think anyone would be happy about those kinds of images."

Well, that might be the idea...

Have never been a fan of $BW, particularly more so after he converted to Islam, although I do respect him as an athlete. Mixed feelings re these photos being published. Disrespectful to the kids involved, but it does raise awareness of what is going on over there.
