I hate to shatter the delusion but there are no "good guys" in this one. Its a very well orchestrated, albeit deadly, stage play by politicians on both sides who care little about the lives of people other then the PR value of their dead bodies in the international press. Maybe when "some people" take their heads out of the sand and stop blaming the press or media for the worlds problems and take responsibility for the governments they elect who create these miseries, there might be some changes. Until then, just remember the press is only pointing out the crime, violence, war, famine, poverty and general misery created by our governments. If you want to change things lean on your politicians and stop whining about the "bad photographers" who are causing all of this. Trust me, the murder and hatred carries on (as it has for centuries) regardless of the press. There wasn't any cameras in Armenia.
