    Okay, I was getting the vibe that you were denying that there was even a massacre to be talking about.

    One YouTube video of many. The last 25 minutes or so should give you some ideas. The picture from 1h11m is one that is burned into my head from back in the day.

        It was the one time my 8th grade civics/history teacher made a note that everything we are studying was the past but this one event is happening right now. He said that just a day or three before the massacre started.

        The people there experienced it first hand. I experienced it on an 12 hour delay and the safety of not being there. You are experiencing it decades removed in the context of history already done before you were even born.

        One day we will have to explain to kids the small differences between Baghdad Bob and Karoline Leavitt.
