Pretty telling that the top story was about AMERICAN deaths in Iraq. Pretty much shows the quality of our democracy and why the rest of the world pays ever less attention to what we say and think.
Thursday: 225 Iraqis, 1 US Soldier, 3 US Contractors Killed; 538 Iraqis Wounded
It reminds of of how, in the past, the news would report something like "574 people died in a horrific mid-air collision over Paris today. No Americans were on board."
...and then move onto another story as if the other 574 people didn't matter.
