Interviews on Media
In the readings about how the media was controlled, I realized how few interviews the media did with the people of Iraq. Are not they the people that the United States went to war to liberate. Would not we want to know how they are being liberated and their view on how liberation is changing their lives? I understand how sometimes you focus on one side more than another but there is always another side whether one chooses to recognize it. There might as well be another documentation like John Pilger trying to be released to the public where the civilians of where the war is taking place are voicing out their thoughts. This made me think of the tree in a forest method being used by the government to conceal the people's voice: If we do not hear them, are they really yelling for help?

I often times wonder myself whether the voice of the people is underestimated or just plainly ignored. I do believe that they are calling out for help...whether we hear them or not because sometimes attention is just focused elsewhere instead of being in a position to rescue. It's just like a child that has wondered off and gotten lost in the middle of the woods...that child can be calling out to her parents for help...only they are too far away to hear and respond.
