Well it is the same as anything isn't it.
Why don't all the children of Vietnam get media coverage when there are often articles about Kim Phuc running from the Napalm attack?
People find it a lot easier to relate to someone in a picture that they have burned onto their consciences.
I seem to remember seeing a few years ago a documentary on the firemen of New York. That was pretty heartbreaking.
