    The forgotten people

    The body count goes on, day in day out, of Americans and Iraqis killed, yet the media is immune to the bloodshed. Young people, of the same age as these kids in Virginia, are slaughtered in Iraq daily, yet their loss doesn't register in the American conscience. It's the same with how we deal with Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Many newspapers mention Israeli death tolls, but play down Palestinian toll...Until the media realizes that the loss of any life, in Virginia, in Baghdad, in Ramallah, in Darfur, is the same, they will be showing their biases.
