A picture is worth...

We've all seen that harrowing picture of the body of that little boy washed up on a Turkish beach. Desperately sad - and I am sure that your reaction, like mine, is "something must be done".  But what?  Let's face it, lots of people, including young kids are being drowned every day in attempting to cross by sea into Europe, but we don't hear about them and certainly don't see pictures of them. Should this one incident be such a call to arms?  Is it because what we see is more powerful than what we are simply told about?
