Quote of the Day

"When I think of the grief that we Americans feel at the death of 33 innocent people in Blacksburg, I wonder what it must be like to live in Iraq and deal with such anguish literally every day ... and to have it ignored. And then, I wonder why we Americans, who are supposed to care so much about Iraqis, aren't more stricken by the daily carnage there.

But I don't wonder long, for we all know the sad truth: As much as we would like to believe otherwise, in reality, all humans aren't equal. To us, every American life is priceless; more and more, it seems, Iraqi lives aren't even worth 60 seconds of air time."
