Reminds me of a time when I was teaching the adult Sunday school class at our former church. Many members of the class were commenting that they didn't appreciate the 'graphic violence' in movie 'The Passion of the Christ' (which had just been released). Christianity's entire core is centered around how much He suffered and sacrificed for us, and yet these people didn't want to witness that suffering because it upset them.

I had a meeting at my office on Friday night. The man I met with is a liberal who enjoys talking politics with me whenever we see each other. I made it a point to ask him whether he thinks water-boarding would be justified if it is the only way to get needed information from the perpetrators of the Boston bombings. He hesitated, in a way he never has before when such subjects are brought up.

Which illustrates that, when he sees the bloodshed and violence 'up close and personal', as in the images of the Boston bombings on television, he wavers in his belief that water-boarding is uncalled for. But when our troops are subjected to every bit as much brutality, and more, he occupies what he sees as the moral high ground.

You are absolutely right that we need to see these atrocities. Just as we needed to see our fellow Americans jumping from the Twin Towers when the mainstream media was refusing to show them because they were 'too upsetting'. Witnessing the results of Muslim atrocities brings the brutality home as nothing else will.
