[edit] Image:TrangBang.jpg

As someone who is about the same age as Kim Phuc (1 year younger), I have found the image taken by Ut as being a compelling reason for thinking long and hard about conducting war in a civilian population area. The subsequent life of Kim Phuc as an ambassador of peace and her forgiveness of the US army personnel who ordered the attack only go to strengthen the poignancy of the picture.

I don't think we can make a case for fair use for the Pulitzer Prize winning photo by Nick Ut with AP of Kim Phuc running from bombs. Ut's life was on the line and AP paid to have him there. They are entitled to whatever royalties they can get unless they have released the photo to the public domain. Further, [1] says VNAF did the bombing, not the U.S. -- ke4roh 17:47, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)

Please see fair use. No photographer or other creator is entitled to fees for fair use of their work - it's not one of the rights the law grants them. The article doesn't say that the US did the bombing. Jamesday 03:19, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Image deleted after discussion on VfD. It is still in copyright and cannot be taken as 'fair use' as WP is aware that copyright still exists and is enforced by AP. I am aware that it would be nice to have it here but that's the way it is --Vamp Willow 23:04, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
