Michael Yon is our eyes

Michael Yon is our eyes. See this inspiring photo essay of the children of Iraq. Michael Yon lets us see beyond the headlines of the mainstream media. I often wonder what would happen if a mainstream media outlet, say the Today show, would go to this school for a week and show all of the happy children and the hustle and bustle of a functioning, free Iraq. Besides the fact that these media outlets have no desire to show this side of the Iraq War - the successful side - I think there is tragic reason that this will not happen. The sad truth is that the terrorist’s main weapon (whether they are a willing participant or not) is the mainstream media. And a high profile target as well as a live feed would present the ultimate target. Until then, we will rely heavily on the courage and perseverance of the Michael Yons of the world. Thank you again, Michael.
