You know, here's the thing that strikes me, and it's part of why I think the whole thing is a crock:

This is not the first terrible thing that has happened in Syria. Things have been all-around awful in that country since the initial uprising. Read any article about the human cost of the rebellion, and you'll be hard-pressed to not feel some degree of sorrow. However, not a single thing has ever been said about what's going on over there in F!S -- until today, until people started talking about an awful event in America.

That's what leads me to believe that those bringing it up do not truly feel sympathy or compassion for anyone there. Those kids are simply fuel for completely unrelated bitterness and pawns to be used in an argument.

It's true that coverage of world events in imbalanced. It's true that it's wrong, and it's true that it should be discussed and changed. However, it is not right to pit tragedies against one another as part of that discussion.
