So where are the bleeding heart lefties on this story.

Those poor innocent black children dying from a bloody civil war.

Come on guys I want to see the bawling!

Overlooked stories are part of a political agenda that favors more topical stories.

At the moment, the propaganda is full damage control mode on Iraq and governmental abuse of intelligence services for what is released to the mainstream press in the US and UK.

I think it is valuable to keep an eye on all other trouble spots. There are human interest stories as well as political things to be found.
