Yup, it's been stated over and over by terrorist organizations that this is one of their intended goals.
Thinking about where we were as a country around the time of the 1998 embassy bombings and where we are today would be jarring if I wasn't so desensitized to it.
- yapcguy 13y agoIt's not so much desensitization as media sanitization where images are pixelated, videos blurred, contextual information stripped from news reporting... leaving many in a soporific state. If the true horrors of violence were shown without censorship, all day, every day in the news media, so nobody could escape facing the world as it is, I have faith the public would be so disgusted and so outraged that they would move heaven and earth to find a solution. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bae_1304490155 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bae_1304490155 Watch and cry.
