32 dead in Virginia.
Baghdad bomb kills 166.
The thing is, and I'm not desecrating the deaths in Virginia, but there's a good chance no one will die in Virginia today, but lots will die in Baghdad. And we'll still be reading about Virginia tomorrow, and asking why, and wondering how.
The United States is so insular. We are in our own little bubble, seemingly not knowing or caring that there's a whole 'nohter world out there...and if we were a little more attuned to it, maybe less of what happened in Virginia will happen again, or maybe we'll just be able to wrap our minds around it a little better, or maybe we'll do what we can to make the killing stop everywhere.
