I may be old and cynical, but none of them really moved me much at all. I've seen some much more powerful photographs of events and even sunrises and sunsets that moved me more.

I don't understand how the Vietnamese monks self immolating were excluded or the image of the young Vietnamese girl running down the road with major burns to her body after her village was napalmed were excluded as these were far more powerful than say, the soldier sweating under his beret.

How about images from Belsen or Auschwitz?

Just another dumb list showing another sign that news should really be called views.
