It is just wrong - poor kid :(

Although I do have my sympathies for the child I can't help wonder why it's taken this footage / image to cause worldwide outrage when many kids in Syria aren't so lucky to survive or lose limbs / family etc

because we are blinkered too it. It's not in our back yard so we forget about it, we are more interested in our own lives, our work, drinking, social life. We're dull to the normal reporting.

A picture like that, is worth more than a thousand words, there's no hidden meaning, it slaps you in the face and makes you take notice.

Mmm I've seen a pretty horrible video of a Syrian street post-bombing but it's way too graphic for the news. Would do people good to see the reality of war, I remember back after 9/11 there were people celebrating the beginning of the war, pictures of troops milling around doesnt really tell the full story.
 
It's sad to see but what is also sad is that liberals have been crying out for this kind of imagery to fit their anti-bombing agenda. The BBC didn't report on ISIS beheading children for example.
 
Oh look a poor attempt to illicit some indiscreet insincerity towards a conflict no-one actually cares about in reality.

It's the washed up boy in the mediterranean again, what gives anyone else the right to judge another nations society?

We can't seem to win anything anymore, we decide to act (Saddam/Gaddafi/Taliban), it gets worse because we only ever went to blow up the enemy and because the natives hate any sort of order other than that attributed from the threat of death, we can't help them. We sit back and watch it play out or do sorties against the enemy instead, and we're still the bad guys for not acting more.

Aggravating society that needs to do less crocodile tears and more logical/rational thinking.
 
Oh look, another picture for people to care about for 5 minutes then forget about.

Real action needs to be taken, not just a few comments for likes on social media.

What the answer is I don't honestly know, but stuff like this will just pop up more and more.

Our world leaders really need to do something effective.
 
They should fire up some of the images of the things ISIS do the people they come across which includes men, women and children.

That would soon spring the public into a nice big bombing campaign.
 
Despicable.

Honest.

If thats the way he feels then I have no problem with that, it's just the way he is. I'd be more concerned with people crying crocodile tears on social media and then in a few days forgetting about it.

How many people still have French flag profile pics on FB etc? People have no stomach for the "long run" in our ADHD society anymore.
 
Despicable.

You might think it's despicable, but to inhibit emotional response and "not care" is actually the most powerful thing a human being can possibly do in a situation like 9/11. The only method to end conflict (or not create one in the first place) is when one side "doesn't care".

If everybody didn't give a **** about 9/11 there would be no terrorism today. Instead 9/11 was used to milk every ounce of emotion from citizens, to create and establish a conflict, to make people emotional and to make them care, and it was used to start a war on terror which has only established that we get terrorised which in turn allows our corrupt governments to keep governing.
