Just Muslims killing Muslims

Forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad dropped cluster bombs on children playing in a park in a Damascus suburb on Sunday. Ten of the children were killed.

Let's go to the videotape.



But the UN Security Council has not been called into session. No one is calling for a 48-hour cessation of the war to determine how the accident happened because this wasn't an accident. In fact, if you do a Google search limited to the last 24 hours, you will see that no one even noticed this story until around 7:00 am Israel time on Monday, when the Beirut Daily Star noticed it. The BBC picked it up about three hours later - the other entries mostly start about four hours after that. The story has gotten little or no coverage in the US.

But hey - it's just Muslims killing Muslims, so why should the world be interested?
