    Let's hope not Klytus

    Mr. Xanthro seems to perceive a sort of sweepstakes of human suffering out there in our world at large.

    The people of Gaza don't even rate on his Top Ten!

    Well..one can only hope..one day..to make it..to the..top...

    -- Klytus

    Let's hope that the people in Gaza never make the top ten in terms of suffering, and I'd much rather that that top ten be greatly reduced in number.

    There is tremendous suffering in the World, and the vast majority of it goes unreported.

    Where you aware of the LRA's Christmas 2008 massacre?

    Also, remember my post was directed toward the idiot that was claiming that what is going on in Gaza right now is the worst human rights abuse in history. I was pointing out that unfortunately, it's not even the closest that's going one right now, much less in History.

    It does look like the Tamil Tigers will be finished soon. That's only a 25 year conflict that's killed well over 70,000 people. It also rarely made the news.
