    Another bomb, another 27 dead.

    America (and Britain) really does have a lot to answer for

    So America deserved the recent bombing attacks as it brought it on itself...?

    I'm sick to death of this disproportionate coverage. It is all over the media.

    This morning I turned on facebook to see a dumb "WE STAND BESIDE OUR AMERICAN ALLIES AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME" meme from the UK being shared and liked.

    It's sickening. The media, although visibly dejected by the unremarkable numbers involved, are resorting to all sorts of emotive language like 'battlefield' and "the war zone mile".

    And while you cannot blame the US media for donating so much time to this tragic story, strangely enough, it's the non US media which is just as hysterical.

    I don't like to bring up the bombs in Somalia and Iraq yesterday, but it is an awkward reality.

    In truth, most Irish people will not have known anyone in serious danger yesterday. We can try to explain away our interest in this story as cultural, racial or historic.

    Either way, it comes down to a subjugation of importance of humanity and human life to whether the victims are the right nationality.

    Dint know if anyone mentioned it but there were boardsies running. so not that unlikely to know someone there.
