today,
the words of albert camus springs to mind these days. "killing an arab", surely seems like an easier thing to cope white that the killings of caucasians. the news of london have been on now for more than 24 hours straight, more and more it seems, because they can. it leaves me with questions: is it in fact because western medie per se has more acces to such catastrophies that the coverage tends overkill or is it an expression of how they value life, code ethnic?

I guess there is so simple answer, but thinking about how 17 iraq cicilian got killed in one airraid over the weekend, and how it was mentioned by a short notice in NY Times - no TV - and at the same time, US official question the victims by placing them under suspicion for maybe having been linked to insurgency, draws a picture.

Alas, the harder it is to be a pacifist.
