A year ago today, US soldier Robert Bales murdered 9 children, 3 women, and 4 men in two separate villages in Afghanistan. He cut off their limbs and set them on fire. They were all civilians.
I wonder how many minuets of silence was observed by America in their memory. Or was American time too precious to be wasted in the names of these brown bodies?

Personally, I think the blame of not recognizing these deaths is put in the wrong place here. People can not mourn what they are not aware of. I find the media coverage of incidents like these (of which there are many more than this one alone) to be severely lacking or non-existent. The American people are not solely heartless to the lives lost in the middle east. Just ignorant.
