Disclaimer: When I say "white" I mean "white Americans." Sorry. We're really self-centered materialistic weenies here in the US and we just assume that Brits, mainland Europeans (especially the French) and Aussies aren't as important as us. Just check out any major newscast from any major network. Cute white girls and dead white people 24/7. Tsunami? What tsunami?
Thanks.

I have nothing of value to contribute to this thread other than the obvious: I'd reckon people don't see a bomb blast going off overseas as anything new and exciting.
For further reading reference: Israel. Iraq.
We're numb and hammered with body counts every day of our lives through a news ticker. Seems like nobody cares. Except Cynthetiq and a few of the educated people here on TFP.
