Do those images disturb me emotionally? Yes.
(Not much though. I see death on my FB feed all the time these days.)

Does it stop me from rationally accepting that what I'm seeing is "normal" in a war? No.

I know I was upset when I saw those pictures. You get that those are people in the pictures, correct? I would suggest you are the one that has watched too much "Hollywood versions of war". You appear desensitized to the death and suffering of others.

You seem to be making an "argument" that's basicly "people should react to this picture the way I do".

You also seem disproportionaly outraged by the fact that I don't consider an act to be more evil just because I see a picture of it actually happening.

For me, "evil" is fundamental, it's something that disturbs me on every level, most of all rationally. I don't think it's even possible to make a valid "that is evil" statement when you are so emotional that you can't think straight.

I suggest that maybe you should take a closer look to how you react to those photos, and ask if it is a correct reaction/response.

I suggest you take a deep breath and consider the possibility that you are letting your disgust and even hate and fear get the best of you. That's the stuff that breeds single-minded, irrational behaviour and stupid political decisions on the grand scale. It's what feeds cycles of violence.
