Probably more to do with the nudity than the atrocities it was depicting. I imagine everyone of a certain age can remember this picture, it's etched in my memory, it was so shocking.Another one is a young Vietnamese soldier who was on camera and shot through the head, again, shocking! These things stay with us, don't they?

Re: Face book takes down Iconic war photo
This is a tough call, but a nude child in whatever context is still a nude child, and to be truthful knowing the sensitivities of child nudity on the internet these days, it seems pretty crass to use this image in preference to thousands of others that could have been used instead to depict the horrors of the Vietnam war.

She is a truly inspirational woman, the world could with more like her.
As an aside, any man who could see anything sexual in a photo of an injured, terrified child needs to be dealt with.
I would volunteer to deal with them.
