"Take away the pictures and this is virtually a non-story."

Unless it happens to YOU, my friend. Some people are just out-of-sight out-of-mind kinda people I guess.

This is one of the biggest, most tragic, worldwide,"non-story" of our lifetime.

That's my point - of course it's bad when it happens to me. But the out-of-sight, out-of-mind is exactly what happened in Cambodia with Pol Pot. I was in grade school at the time and read some accounts - but the bottom line was that no one cared in this country - because the no reporters could get in there. About 2,000,000 people died there.
