If this horrible incident had happened to Iraqis would it be news? |
|
It would be just another day in Baghdad.

3. 300 Iraqis die every day. |
|
If only forty Iraqis were killed it'd be good news.

It would be just another day. There would be a news story or two, as there are almost every day.
But it would hardly cause a blip. On a lot of American's radars it wouldn't even be a blip at all.
What? Iraqis dying? Where?
:eyes:
Londoners deserve grief and mourning just as much as Iraqis.
And Iraqis deserve all that just as much as anyone else.
I place no humans higher than others as far as the value of their life. Life is life.

6. Which shows the schizoid tendencies of the American public |
|
Even though we are there to "free" the Iraqis, we exhibit little to no reaction when we kill them.

8. No, it wouldn't be news |
|
This morning I posted a story on another forum about bomb blasts killing 40 two weeks ago ... and nobody knew what country it happened in - and one person replied that the media doesn't cover Africa very well, so they didn't know about it. (It was Iraq)

10. Only if the U.S. could blame Al Qaeda or other Iraqis. |
|
If it had resulted from U.S. bombing, then no, it would not be news.
