PICTURES OF AMERICAN WAR DEAD COFFINS BANNED IN THE U.S.

A picture of flag draped coffins being respectfully carried from a cargo plane for burial in the United States was published in a Seatle newspaper. The person who took the photo along with her husband were fired for taking the photo because Pres. Bush has said that such a photo disrespects the privacy of the families of the dead soldiers.

The truth of the matter is that Bush is more concerned over his own privacy. He dosen't want people to see the horrors of war and maybe start blaming him, thus not voting for him the next time. People need to see the effects of war to know that it's different than watching movies or playing video games. There's nothing wrong or disrespectful with seeing a flag draped coffin.. On the contrary it lets us show some respect.
