Much of the Gulf War II conflict has been televised, and Italy has just conducted a state ceremony honoring their slain soldiers killed in Iraq. If we choose to cause death and destruction, we ought to be able to handle the outcome of those acts and deal with it. I don't need to have the choice to see or not see made for me by media conglomerates or the DOD.
