June 8, 1972 to June 8, 2007...

This is a just a story of two pictures, taken by one man, 35 years apart.

Nick Ut was the Pulitizer-Prize-winning photographer in Vietnam who gave us the naked little girl running in pain from napalm burns. Here, he recalls the larger picture of that early June day.

Today, Mr. Ut snapped this picture of another young woman no doubt in a great deal of pain. I'm not a Paris Hilton hater, and personally I think the amount of publicity for what is essentially a DUI/suspended license/lack-of-respect-for-the-court offense is way overblown and says more about the haters than Ms. Hilton.

Still, when you compare these two photos, line them up side-by-side and consider what they say about the priorities of a media-saturated society in wartime, I just think, "God Help Us All."
