Chris, this ignores the fact that this kind of thing doesn't happen every day in London. Homicide bombings in Israel get just as much coverage as car bombings in Iraq, because it is the norm.

Implying others' bigotry is the same thing, in practice, as being a bigot.

Chris, a look at the photos coming in from London verifies that all those wounded aren't Anglo -- and I strongly doubt that all the deaths are Anglos. London is very much an international city, with very large population ethnicities other than Anglo. (Check CNN -- the lead photo is changing every few minutes, plus there's the "Gallery" feature. Note that emergency workers aren't all Anglo either.)

If you want to make a point about our response to deaths, it'd be more logical to observe that we've had a mutually-beneficial (mostly) relationship with England dating from this nation's inception, a history which obviously doesn't exist with Iraq.

Or, if you're lucky enough to get BBCAmerica on your television cable service, you can watch events on the big screen.

... If the American people had seen daily the up-close reality of every battle and bomb in 1943, might we have "withdrawn" before June 1944?

Let's hide the more disturbing truths of war from the public, that is, truth is, justifiably, the first casulty?
