9/11 not only afftected the US, it affected the world. sure it happened to by NY firefighters. but if they happened to be fire fighters from southern finland, i would say the same thing. it just because it happened to be in america doesn't mean it only affects america. it affected the world.

But this photo isn't the most viewed image of 9/11. To be honest your post of it was the first I'd ever seen of it. I can't speak for everyone, of course, but I really don't think this photo reached as many eyes as the many other photos taken of this disaster. And if it hasn't reached as many eyes, there is surely a more accurate photographic representation of how 9/11 affected the world at large. One of the photos that millions,upon millions have seen.

I could be wrong though, maybe this is a widely recieved photo, and I just haven't happen upon it. But I believe there are more photos that display how 9/11 changed the world.

you're probably right. me being from america, i have seen most of the photos relation to 9/11. but like you said, you have never seen it. and i can only guess that many people from other nations havn't seen it either. and i'm sure even some people form america havn't seen it either

IMO it's the same as most protests that don't make sense and in the end don't accomplish anything. But when you feel that strongly for something and are that convicted, you do what you gotta do.

You wonder if halfway through lighting himself on fire, mid meditations, he thinks "ow..damn....ok, maybe this wasn't such a good idea" :)

Buddhist monks can control many body functions through meditation. An you need to ask yourself what can one man do to fight against those in power. Lighting one self on fire might seem silly, but you did not live in the same situation as this Monk.

By the way the CFR stoped the war, through their ownership of the Media. The fact is that the TET offensive was a US Military Victory but was protrayed by US media as a US Loss.

I agree that pictures don't change the world, but maybe draw attention to things. Those who control the media control the population. So Ask Who owns ABC, CBS, NBC, New York Times, etc ...

Answer is the CFR

No, you see, it's about the pictures which changed the world, not about the pics that you happen to care a lot for.

A picture of a jet smashing into one of the towers, a tower crumbling or picture of the smoke-filled Manhattan skyline could make it, as it marks the new age of terrorism, shows that even USA is vulnerable. Firefighters or soldiers rising the US flag have, even if a noble image, only patriotic value :ninja:

Through Chaos, One wants to feel protected and will give up their freedoms easily.

Founding fathers of the United States of America said that government imposes the biggest threat to freedom.
