The idea that you can prevent violent action by banning such images is nonsense.

There is no evidence that watching violent images causes people to carry out violent acts.

Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers. The question of what to do with the feelings that have been aroused, the knowledge that has been communicated. If one feels that there is nothing 'we' can do -- but who is that 'we'? -- and nothing 'they' can do either -- and who are 'they' -- then one starts to get bored, cynical, apathetic.

Bold action is needed to address this threat and, above all, to protect the civilian population

I must say the idea of a United Africa was nonsense.

When the images came down and we could see horizon all the wayaround, that was every bit as exhilarating as getting to the top of any mountain I've climbed on Earth.
