Iran is not the only target. Syria and Lebanon are also targets. But I agree with those rantings on US foreign policy. I don't like videos showing soldiers getting killed either, so I don't watch them. But I do feel people have the right to view them on places like liveleak (not youtube). Soldiers can be killed and are unfortunately killed, and some people don't understand that as well as they should.
I can see your point. The U.S. public has been extremely desensitized to the realities of war, but, don't you think we also need to draw the line at some point, both out of respect for the victims and their families?
I'm saying let's get rid of censorship in 99% of the cases, but let's still show a smidgen of restraint.
People need to see what war and tragedy looks like no matter how grotesque it may be. Then it's not so easy to be hoodwinked by the elites. Just imagine how many heads would be on the chopping block if Tillman's death had been videotaped.
While I don't believe in censorshp, videos showing the death of U.S. service personnel (or that of any other country) do not belong on youtube or dare I say, anywhere else. That's just inappropriate.

Some of us are seeking out vids where american soldiers are being killed. As we find them, we flag the snot out of them.
