Why Don’t We Care About Bomb Attacks?

November 10, 2008 by frankls 

A double bomb attack in a neighborhood in northern Baghdad killed 25 people and wounded 48 others on Monday.

First, a bomb in a parked car exploded at a market in the district of Adhamiya.

When a crowd gathered around the car, a bomber with a load of explosives, detonated the explosives in his vest. Both attacks took place at about 8 am local time.

A day before the insurgents bombed an outdoor market in the Iraqi city of Khalis, in an attempt to kill the mayor, who was wounded in the attack with ville d ‘deputy police chief. Two others were killed when the explosives, hidden under a pile of trash, exploded near a health clinic.

Khalis al-Khadra Auday Mayor and Deputy Chief of Police, Nihad Al-louaibi, were shot in the market and are among the 13 wounded

Sucide bombers in Iraq is almost a weekly or monthly occurence in the news these days, and its unfortunate that we don’t feel the entire impact of the lives lost. If it was closer to home like where we live or go to school or work, then the impact would have a devastating affect. Moreover, if it’s one of our western cousins, the impact will still hit home.

So why is Iraq different?
