It may even be that the images of destroyed artifacts are more effective than those depicting executions, because they are televised everywhere and not relegated to the depths of the Internet

I can't help but thinking over and over about that statement.

1) Do we relegate human lives to the depth of the Internet?

2) Are we, the western world, more sensitized about destroyed art than human executions?

3) As Bill Leonard said on We steal secrets: "The ultimate power of image is that it helps people understand what it is"
