Double standards

On July 7, 2005 bombers killed 52 people in London.

The western world was outraged, condemned the bombings, sent state condolences, and there was constant international news coverage.

On April 7, 2006 bombers killed 79 Iraqis and injured 158 in a triple suicide bombing.

The western world shrugs its shoulders and says next to nothing.

The most conservative estimate I can find shows that at least 10 times more Iraqis were killed via the Iraq war than died on 9/11.

And things continue to get worse.

Yawn.
