And what thoughts did it provoke, Dana?
I recognised the tendency to report primarily on one's own countrymen, in news reports about accidents or military engagements. I also think the distinction between viewing those deaths at an emotional level (and therefore with great sympathy) and viewing them at a political level is an interesting one and fits my own dualist response to news about the war at times.
