Here's the question for all: How do you get articles like this published in your hometown rag, so that JoeSixpack is better informed about what we're up against?

If anyone has good ideas on this, I'm all ears.

That's exactly my question as well. I read these articles regularly here on FR, but I rarely see them in the newspaper or on TV. Fox News being an exception, but even with them, you'd think stories like these would get more emphasis because of the serious subject matter. This isn't some dog bites man story. It's a fact of the world that goes purposefully and regularly unreported.

People are only responding to the information presented to them, and they've only been told a fraction of the story. If they knew the whole story, the "feel good" attitude of many people would abruptly drop. There is no moral equivalence with societies like these and stories like this would make that abundantly clear to Joe Sixpack.

I'm lucky - the Post is my hometown rag.
