Several days ago there were news reports about the black political bosses in NYC backing away from their support of Hillary because they were thinking of switching to Obama, because he is black.

Iraq.

So, where's the daily outcry? The shock? The horror? The huge newspaper headlines?

Why don't we all mourn the Iraqi victims of George Bush's war? Are we numb to the numbers? When a car bomb kills 40 are they somehow less human than the 32 in Blacksburg?
