200 people died when a bomb went off in an Iraqi marketplace today. They were just people going shopping. A lot of them were probably kids, but CNN isn't showing me their pictures, or telling me their names, so I can't say for sure. They were just more of those nameless, faceless Iraqi people who we have given freedom to.
I don't want to minimize what happened at VA Tech. Death is death, and it's particularly horrible when the victims are so young, and it strikes so close to a context that we can identify with.
But why aren't we wearing ribbons for the people of Baghdad who died today? Why aren't we holding vigils, or looking for someone or something to blame?
I don't know.
