<<< Where was the Western media's moral outrage when King Hussein did to the Palestinians things that the Israelis don't even contemplate?

Where was the Western media's moral outrage when Assad flattened a city in a fit of pique, killing thousands of innocent civilians?

Where was the Western media's moral outrage when Saddam gassed Kurds and Iranians?

Where is the Western media's moral outrage when the Saudis decapitate and mutilate their own?

Where is the Western media's moral outrage over what is taking place in the Sudan?

I'll tell you where it is: MIA.>>>

What does any of that have anything to do with what we do?

It's like if you were living next door to Charles Manson and Jeffrey Dahmer, and your daughter gets busted for prostitution and your son steals a neighbor's car.

Go tell the judge that your daughter did it for some extra spending money and all your son did was go for a joy ride. Tell the judge all about what Charles Manson and Jeffery Dahmer did or are doing.

Would it make you feel better to know that Charles Manson and Jeffery Dahmer did far worse than what your son and daughter did?

Do you really need the media to compare Manson/Dahmer crimes to your kids'?

Would it change anything for your family whether Manson/Dahmer got caught or not - or exposed or not?

What does one have to do with the other?

It is about the standards that you set for your family

For me and my family it would be entirely the standards that we set for our family that is the most important - as important as life itself.
