As for the comment that no one cares about Iraqis, I assume that you are basing that on your own feelings on the issue? I grieve every time I read an article about a bombing in Iraq. It saddens me that they have become so commonplace that the media has stopped reporting them.

Death is common place. It happened way before you were born and it will continue to happen long after you die. Does that mean a single death is less sad? No. It just means it's something that the more you dwell on the harder it is to get past.
I was actually pointing out that people die in large groups around the world each day. And for the most part Americans only give a flying blue fuck it involves a fellow American. Selfish assholes.
