We get upset of Syria using gas on his people and killing some kids. Yes, a horrible act. The US bombs Iraq and kills hundreds of kids in one week and it's not headline news in the US, but it's headline news around the world. It's this dichotomy that fascinates me. People are able to ignore or not know what we do but be outraged over what others do even though they're basically the same thing - kids are killed.

When the US media and government was obsessing over 20 kids in Syria the US had just killed 200 civilians in Mosul. In June of this year, the NY Times reported that we killed 484 civilians in Iraq and Syria. How many Americans know this? 1%, maybe 2%?

I guess killing innocent people only matters when the other side does it.
