    Default Iraq is worse than ever Before, why isn't it Covered anymore?

    http://english.aljazeera.net/news/mi...537677889.html

    The last 3 days I've checked Al Jazeera there has been a daily quota of at least 1 gruesome sectarian killing. But we don't hear about this at all. What's the explanation?

    Violence is down in Iraq from its peak
    That's why. Iraq isn't as bad as it once was so the media doesn't feel the need to report on it anymore.

    Ever since the US troop withdrawal began, there has been a shift of concentration (in Western media) to the war in Afghanistan. Apparently, it's only important when there are American troops, but the post sectarian violence and possible prelude to civil war from which many people are suffering is not that important.

    No it doesn't matter, it is insane that everyone in the world to be interested in what everyone else do. The media was interested when US troops where there, they left and probably nobody will remember where Iraq is, this is life.

    Well, it kind of matters if someone tries to boast about this hackjob the US barely pulled out of the sewer for themselves as a great way to bring democracy and stability for the people that are still not sure if there's a war of secession lurking in the near future when the US troops are pretty much out of the picture.

    One can be hopeful that it doesn't happen, wouldn't be really anyone's achievement but the different factions of Iraq after years of strife pulling together on their own.

And when the last warrior was dying, he said, 'We gave you everything, why did you destroy us?' And she looked down upon him and she whispered, 'Because I can.' "

    Worse than before what?

    Ummm if it's on al-Jazeera, how does the claim "we don't hear about it" make ANY sense?

    What wasn't accomplished exactly? Yeah there was a ton of deaths, but that doesn't mean that the mission wasn't accomplished....

    Well the point is that American "liberation" did not do much good for Iraqis.

    And obviously not reforming Iraq into somewhat more progressive state,especially an ellective democracy(since in this case they would end up kicked out of Iraq sooner or later for obvious reasons,like Arab "fondness" for Israel and USA-Israel "love",that would certainly reflect itself on the results of every really free election held in Iraq),but wait... who cares,oil supplies are secured

    I wonder one thing,if Americans and NATO really care about genocide and discrimination then why don't they assist opposition movements in replacing Saudi and Bahraini monarchies or what made them ignore everything what happened in Darfur,Rwanda or Congo?
