Please explain why you think the two are the same.

How do you equate a picture of a dead fireman with the president doing his job? If a picture of a dead rescue worker (slain in battle as well) can be used to advance a political agenda on the right why can't pictures of dead soldiers be viewed as well.
For the record I am against both. The argument used by Bush is that anonymous caskets of soldiers would hurt the families. How does showing the dead body of a fireman not hurt the families of the 343 firefighters killed on 9/11?
Again, how is this not hypocrisy?
