Ray Hanania on Politics podcast comments on President Trump's startling movement against allies and embrace of Putin, and the political battles in Orland Park that dominate Cook County elections
Women and children become the victims of war. The famous Pulizer Prize winning photo of Phan Thi Kim Phuc, known as "The Girl in the Photo", is a classic example of that. That photo influenced many Americans about the war in Vietnam. Those of us old enough to remember Vietnam, or who served during the war, can never forget that photo. Given the deep divide in America today, I wonder if the same sort of photo could have the same effect on American opinions. Could a photo illustrating the horrific effects of war on innocent life in Gaza or Ukraine get the attention of Americans from both sides? Just how horrifying would that image have to be? Once again, Ray, you give me food for thought. For those who aren't aware of the photo I mentioned, here's a Wikipedia link to the person in it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phan_Thi_Kim_Phuc
