"Something important is lost when we perceive history as a series of images (or events) rather than deeds."

I will go one further on this: something important is lost when we perceive history as a series of images, or events, OR deeds: something is lost when we do not think of history as a set of *choices.* Someone is choosing to aim at our ambulances, instead of at our Position 0. It is not a secret where Position 0 is--ours, or theirs. We choose to aim at their soldiers. They choose instead to aim at our hospitals, our humanitarian vehicles, the homes of our grandmothers.
