    hmm.... I have a bit to add from some personal experience...

    In the 90's, I spent a summer in Bosnia and Croatia, working on a video documentary with a crew.... I was the only non-speaker-of-the local language... but I was there long enough and saw enough to see that a war can start out one way, end up quite different, and after you've been shot at a few times.... and shelled for night after night, your sense of decorum changes.... and you're constantly surprised you're still alive... and something like this seems pretty mild compared to other things.... mild, but somehow touching to people who've got no idea, maybe because it's LESS horriffic, but more symbolic, it seems to mean more to the media....
