but... but have we not forgotten about the people dying in iraq daily? both american and iraqi? 33 people dead happens daily in iraq, when is this madness going to end? if you're going to send " prayer requests" and " light a candle" bulletins why dont you start by lighting a candle for the innocent iraqi children caught in this mess thanks to the good old united states of america and its allies.
over 650,000 iraqis are dead and almost 3,400 us servicemen are dead not to mention foreign soldiers, and what's headline news? 33 people dead in a virginia shooting? are you kidding me? of course the victims lives mean something just as the ones dying in war mean to their families and friends, but we cant just simply forget about those dying in the middle east for nothing.
seriously people, wake up and stop thinking about yourselves and for goodness sake turn off your televisions! the news covers what they want you to know... as i said before my heart goes out to those killed in virginia, but let's not forget about the innocent iraqi children or palestinian children that are dying daily of no food or running water in occupied land. to me they are more important, no child deserves to go through life during a war that was caused by greed and angry neoconservative "christians" in the white house.
thats all for now, if you disagree sorry to disappoint but thousands of people die daily, these 33 are no different and if you're going to talk about people dying mention the full stories all over the world, we arent better than anyone else ( though we may act like it)
end rant
