I doubt it will be on the first page of the Herald/Journal or Sun either tommorow.
That's pathetic...this isn't much different from 9/11, and people will forget about it tommorow morning, if anyone has even cared..difference is , this is in a 3rd world country so the lives of those innocent people that were taken away must mean nothing
Okay, forget 9/11. See the London Bombing last year, same type of scenario. This year's India bombing has already killed way more people, and injured far more, and yet it's apparently no big deal
This topic speaks for itself - 11 posts!
Same way people ignore the fact that 1 million people died in the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda in 1994. How was that any different from the Holocaust? Yet, none of the teachers in my school ever mentioned it. Watch Hotel Rwanda for the full story of that event - the United nations did not come to help out the innocents because a) they were black b) it was a 3rd world nation.

I completely agree. It seems people don't care about others unless they can identify with them culturally. Over 200 people dead and not one single person at work has mentioned it. Yet after 9/11 and the Spanish and UK transit attacks it was being discussed everywhere.
