You WILL get lambasted again, Tim...
...but you are completely, 100% correct this time. I'd earlier sent my son a news story about these latest deaths in Iraq with almost exactly the same comment you made, questioning whether the Va. Tech story would still overshadow Iraq on the network news.
I'll be the most surprised person in Ohio if these 178 deaths in Iraq aren't buried beneath the flood of ongoing Va. Tech reports. And what DOES make these deaths in Iraq automatically less important to everyone, including the President, than Monday's college shootings?
You wondered about convocations -- I'd like to ask about lowering our nation's flags to half-mast to honor any of the 3000+ American deaths in Iraq, or the tens of thousands of Iraqis who've perished. Don't hold your breath; we'll NEVER see THAT, not least because our flags would have to stay at half-mast for years.
