My Two Cents: Photos from Haiti – The Digital Journalist

Link:

Have we become so squeamish as to not accept the tragedy depicted in the many sad images emerging from Haiti? We send our young men to war, but we run from the reality of war when we see these men in action, wounded and sometimes dead. The horror of war is inescapable. It does not go away if we ignore it. Similarly, we cannot escape the images from natural disasters. If we turn away from the pictures an earthquake or tsunami brings, does it mean they did not occur? It does not.
