The NYT rightly got a lot of flack today for posting graphic images ("would you do that for US victims?"), warning slides'd go a long way

@asteris We need to work on context. Without it, those images of Syrians (and Arabs) are seen, once again, as barbarians killing each other -
@leila_na thought you'd be thinking along those lines, the moment I saw Syria Untold, and I remember our convos. Καλημέρα :-)

@asteris but then people apathy knows no bounds Syrian conflict proves this for me thats more despicable. -
@AngelaLoRosso I know people, some of them journos, who gave up because they couldn't take it anymore. They weren't apathetic by any measure -
@asteris talking public not journalists or photographs. People just don't care anymore no matter what horror you show them.
