This is one of the most famous photos of the early period of WWII. It was reproduced in newspapers around the world. A Chinese child cries after a Japanese bombing raid on Shanghai's South Station, August 28, 1937.

A few years ago on the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII the Asheville newspaper published that exact same picture only it was captioned "a Japanese child cries after an American bombing raid". Now I later saw that picture and found out the real context, but the point is that images can be used by those with ulterior motives to make any point that they like.
Also, I wonder how anyone could stop to take a #$%@#&* picture when there is a crying child in need only a few feet away.
