War is not a video game – Iraq war – Salon.com.

I have been thinking my way through the relationship (if any – causitive) betwen gaming violence and aggression (violence)). Too simplistic?

This article perhaps looks again at this in the light of the Iraqi war. Here is a quote from the abstract of my thesis:

It was found that distinctions between ‘war as a game’ and the actual event are being lost within ‘simulation revenge scenarios’ where the borders distinguishing gaming violence, television violence and revenge scenarios are increasingly indefinable. War can then be viewed a spectacle where the actual event is lost in a simplified simulation.
