Posted By neer1010 11 months, 2 weeks ago in NewsSome people might be offended or upset by these images but this isn't my intentions I just want it to be thought provoking and enlightening, and for people to talk about the past and to never forget, because we need to learn from past events other wise we will keep repeating history.

omg david kkkoresh was killing babies and collecting guns for the great satan to take over the world and kill the FSM and teh jesus....oh and he didn't recycle either!
it's appalling how little american's really understand of the tragedy of waco and ruby ridge...which means they still don't understand Oklahoma City or any of the other domestic terror plots over the years...the first WTC bombers were supplied with their explosives and driven to the towers by the FBI themselves....shocking.

However stated, I know the photo of which you speak. I believe it isn't here because, well, while riviting, it just doesn't have that 'oomph', that photographic quality that grabs, holds and demands attention in the way that most of these do. And while the incident is truly a black spot, a shame on this nation, that is not the overall subject of these images. For most, I would say the mixture of both intimate human emotion as well as photographic/artistic (if that is possible with photography) quality is as well powerful and, as with most of these, pretty damn lucky.
A burning building hasn't the depth that does bodies stacked like cordwood or a child's black, frightened and dying eyes.
And while that bit of 'humanity' is lacking in some of these images, the undeniable power represented by the Nagasaki blast or the remains of Hiroshima serves up that 'humanity' through it's obvious lack thereof.

Very emotion causing pictures even without the captions. Many of them I remember as current events. I wish the author of the captions would have let the photos speak for themselves rather than distorting facts. The following quote is from the caption on the photo of the fetus:
"Nearly as soon as the 1965 portfolio appeared in LIFE, images from it were enlarged by right-to-life activists and pasted to placards." Right to Life activists did not even begin to organize unto after the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973, eight years after the photo was published.

These iconic pictures constitute a masterful collection, stirring in every way. Anyone not moved to tears by some of them has a heart of stone. There is never a "wrong" time to view material, like this.
(One tiny quibble -- the Nagasaki A-bomb was not more destructive than the earlier Hiroshima drop, as the caption states. Tibbets and his crew achieved near perfect positioning above Hiroshima to release the bomb and being a much larger city than Nagasaki, it necessarily sustained many more casualties).
