Q and A

Tom Friedman is confused:

I can’t understand how the mass slaughter of 70 Baghdad college students last week by Sunni suicide bombers or the blowing up of a Shiite mosque on the first day of Ramadan in 2005 evoke so little response.

Big Pharaoh isn't:

The killer was not an American nor an Israeli. Instead the killer was a fellow Muslim. And once the mass murderer is a fellow Muslim, Al Jazeera and the Arab/Muslim world do not give a rat's ass. Once the Arab/Muslim world gives a rat's ass about their own dead regardless of the killer, I'll say that the Arab/Muslim world have stepped the first step towards modernity.

I suppose that we should be happy that iraqbodycount.org will not let this violence go unreported. (Of course, it will be blamed on that evil George Bush and the warmongering United States.)

Of course, once if they all murdered each other there would be peace of a sort. Peace at any price, yaknow
