I refer here Clint Eastwood's famous film "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". In Italy it was called" Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo
I will use this film to make a superficial analysis based on information which I can get via western media of what is happening in Syria.
My first and the only impression that I get from the news and images is, that "The Good" in this conflict is Barack Obama.
Here is a photo from the Spanish "El Mundo" newspaper.The image has been first published 2.8.2012 with Reuters. The Spanish text is following: "Una niña rodeada de escombros en el centro Homs". There is over one year from this "shot" and the situation has dramatically changed from that day.
So now we have "The Good", and my investigative journalistic mind asks who is "The Bad". But if you have followed the international politics in Middle East and the press' answers, IL BRUTTO is always Bashar al-Assad. So it means, that they gave him this role long before the "film" was even produced.
To have all the actors on their places, "IL CATTIVO" is still missing . When you have seen all the images via western newspapers, you cannot find him. Is "The Ugly working together with "The Good" or is he hiding behind every child and woman picture in these newspapers , carrying a Kalashnikov, a Mauser and M67 hand grenades . After all the image information what I found dealing with the conflict, I couldn't have the answer to my question:
Is there an official "photo shop" for this international image service and where is it's headquarters?
