Images that changed the world..

This link is a youtube video of "images that changed the world." Do you think that an image can actually change the world? How many people can an image actually reach? How do different perspectives change how the image may affect them? If there was an image to define Spain today what would it be? what about the United States?

But this however, seems to step outside of the boundaries of what the EU was made for. Will the EU begin to evolve into a more powerful IGO and even have a military presence? What will the future of the EU look like?

Here is a video about the EU training soldiers in Somalia.
