My condolences yes,
but as some have pointed out in other posts, mass killings are a daily occurrence in Iraq. Many figureheads from countries are offering their condolences/sympathies and showing support. I know the BBC is devoting quite a bit of time to this story. My question is this: When approx. 30 civilians die each day in Iraq, why does that not warrant substantial press time or the outpouring of sympathy from other countries?
I am also not looking forward to any of the racist targeted attacks (e.g. 9/11) that will surely follow given the identification of the killer.
