National Day of Mourning for Virginia Tech shootings

Today is a national day of morning for the 32 people who died in the gunsights of Cho Seung-Hui.

To date, 134,222 have died in the War in Iraq. I wonder what the people still alive in Iraq would think of a day of mourning for 32 people who died violently from a crazed man with a gun.

Just wondering...

Don't get me wrong...it was terrible what happened in Virginia...but Americans are so insular. 32 people die here tragically, violently, and we cry and moan...this goes on in the world everyday...there are places on this planet where they'd take 32 deaths in a day...

Yes, we should be outraged...for it all, not just for the 32, but for everyone who has ever suffered this way.
