re: #67 Ringo the Gringo
I think that photographs of the coffins of fallen soldiers will very likely have exactly the opposite effect of that which the anti-war crowd is hoping for.
In all likelihood the pictures will inspire patriotism and respect for self-sacrifice. They will also serve as reminder to Americans that we are in fact at war with a very real enemy.
I dunno. Are you old enough to remember the early 70s? I do, dimly. they made great left-wing use of the photos of coffins/body bags coming back from Vietnam. Leftists are, as a tribe, masters at the art of image and spin.
