There are probably few here who were alive almost 40 years ago, when one of the most famous pictures ever taken appeared on the front pages of newspapers around the world. A naked Vietnamese girl, about 10 years old was pictured running down a dirt road, fleeing from her village that had recently been dumped with nalpham.
After seeing that, public opinion in the US turned to a belief that their presense in Vietnam was wrong.
Could this picture cause US public opinion to swing to a belief that the American presense in Iraq is wrong?
