1. A chilling idea
The artist's right about the need to get the images out there where people are forced to confront them.

There's a reason the Allies marched German townspeople through the concentration camps to see the results of inaction and unquestioning compliance. How are we any better than those townspeople?

If we can't bear to look at these images, how can we expect soldiers to? Or the citizens of Iraq who endure these images daily?

One of my friends disagreed, saying that he didn't want his children to see those pictures. Hey, some of the pictures ARE children!!!!!
