It’s not O.K. Anywhere
Yesterday, on one of the message boards I frequent, we were talking about the website We’re Not Afraid and someone commented that it’s a shame that there isn’t the same sort of outpouring of concern and dismay and rage over the same sorts of bombings that happen everyday in Iraq, Afghanistan and all over the Middle East.
The truth is that those who live in the Middle East live with almost daily bombings and assassinations and the like and those “incidents” are merely blurbs on the evening news, slipped into the days events with the Sports scores and weather updates. Every day, I hear about another bomb and more dead but no one seems to be making a big deal about those bombings and attacks.
But attack the UK, Spain, or NYC and suddenly it’s a crisis of monumental proportion.
And, yes, I understand that those things aren’t supposed to happen here and that’s why everyone is up in arms, but why is it o.k. that they’re happening there?
Why is it o.k. that it’s happening anywhere?
