So...let's just put things in perspective here. Father of two picked off by a roadside bomb or a horse that took a bad step.

Wow. I dont think anyone here would compare the 2 and say that the brave soldiers that have died at war take a back seat to what happened to Barbaro.
I have had many horses that have broke down in races over the past 35 years, and it is heart-wrenching, and NOT the same thing as a cat with an ear infection. And on the other end of the scale, not the same thing as a father of 2 dying in the war. But that doesnt mean we can't be sentimental about Barbaro, and want to see the documentary. It doesnt mean that we cant appreciate the many good things that have come from his tragedy.
Sad that your heart is that cold...especially using the graphic term of "snapping his leg" in such an offhand manner. And on a horse racing forum, no less. Which IS where we are right now. If the documentary matters so little to you, then why take the time to even log onto the forum and click the link about NBC?
