THIS FOR SEE AND LUCAS

As it seems we typically get off the point on any given subject and contrary to your claim that it is I who was missing said point, observe:

Point one:

My comparison way back when was between the recent event in Burma (the cyclone) and the events in Somalia in 1993 (genocide. 300,000 people dead as a result of fighting factions).

In both these cases, an...authority, we'll call it (the Burmese military in Burma. Mohammed Farrah Aidid in Mogadishu) prevented the aid provided by the outside world in getting to those who needed it. The comparison is patently obvious.

These, my argumentative associates, are facts and therefore irrefutable. "Big words" don't alter these facts. It's transparently a tactic in place of a cogent argument. Moreover, I probably know more big words than you so try again.

Point two:

This, admittedly, is based in opinion. Nevertheless, such opinion is also based on the evidence presented in the form of the image and accompanying text.

The child is obviously in distress; indeed, the very existence of the vulture is proof positive of the kid's suffering and imminent demise. As if the clearly starvation racked and emaciated body isn't enough. Vultures just know; nobody knows how - they just do. And the author of the text obviously concurs.
In reading the various discussions it would seem that the photographer, after taking the shot, chased off the vulture and retired to the shade of a tree to smoke. Where he presumably continued to watch the infant's journey, or death.
Whilst I don't know (and have never claimed to) exactly what happened, a picture speaks a thousand words and a I've previously stated, unless there was a gun pointed at his head, there is really no other excuse for inaction. Especially bearing in mind the food camp was almost literally a stone's throw away.
And certainly, hiding behind the immunity of "journalism" is such a cop out, and perhaps why the man took his own life.
On the other hand, if you can provide evidence that the fellow 'saved the day' and didn't in fact merely observe, then I'll retract my statements and delete the post AND offer my sincere apologies to the chap in...heaven? Hell? Wherever he may be.
