The War Victims the Media Forgot

10 forgotten conflicts: Colombia, Sri Lanka, Ivory Coast, Central African Republic, DR Congo, Zimbabwe, Sudan (Darfur), Somalia, East Timor, and Chechnya.

And that's just noting 10, a nice round number. That's not counting the Philippines, Indonesia, India (Kashmir), Morocco, Turkey, and Thailand. The list really goes on, but I came up with those in 15 seconds.

Civilians die every day in armed conflilcts around the world, yet the U.N. yawns, the media ignores, and protesters don't seem to have it in them to scream "fascist".

Why is it that its only when Americans or Jews are involved that the world becomes outraged?
