Besides, you seem to advocate that we show the "real" side of war, which to you is the suffering. This in itself is a manipulative tactic, which the pro-war side isn't allowed to use. This war also led to scenes of jubilation; do you agree they should be shown as well? What about US troops helping Iraqi people? Or would these scenes be incompatible with the "reality" of war?

suffering is a part of war, a big part. Buit you're right you should show all parts af war.
