Yesterday at least 31 people were killed in terrorist attacks in Iraq

I understand what you're aiming for. If it were a daily occurence to have terrorist attacks in the US, general attention would fade in the same way. It's like with the dead from road accidents, they're not reported daily and nation wide and Obama doesn't give a press conference.

That's a really bad news, but I don't know why do people post such stories on HN. I watch CNN, so I know these things and if there's someone interested in getting to know this, he would go to CNN's website rather than to HN. This is a place for tech-related news rather than information about terrorist attacks...

"America, the home and defender of democracy, is more important than some backwards country in the desert"<p>That is the subliminal message. It is sad, but unfortunately this is the way this planet works.
