Sound/Silence/War

["Christopher Sorg" <chris@xxxxxxxxx>]

Considering how far technology has come since the Gulf War, I'm extremely
surprised at how little inside coverage there is of the war.  The images
look similar to those from the Gulf War--distant night lights in the sky.  I
realize that I shouldn't be so surprised.  It's much easier to bomb people
and homes that you can't recognize distinctly, just view in the distant
abstract.  But even more lacking was the lack of any sound.  The sheer
numbers of munitions must create quite a terrible racket, yet the pictures
we view are silent.  Unbelievable.

Just imagine your reaction to the images if we could hear the sounds.  And
what kind of sounds would we hear?
