How many people out there do you think scroll by a headline such as this...
"Bombs explode outside eastern Iraqi mosque, killing 7"

without even thinking about it? |
They scroll by it because it happens every day. It is the unfortunate reality of life in the midst of a war. It is horrible. It shouldn't have to happen, but it is the reality of that part of the world. On top of that, it is a reality that very few people here have any ability to relate to.
The bottom line is that these are very different things, and the responses should be very different based upon simple human nature. For that ####### to decide that it's time start calling people hypocrites is disgusting. If that was one of my friends they'd not only cease to be my friend, I'd be making my point in a much more obvious manner.
