A couple of points here. First, about the fact that the US doesn't seem to care much about international news (I think this appeared a couple of pages back). For those of you not from the US, your very right that we don't pay as much attention to international events, as say, the British (I think that was the example used). But you have to remember that in a country as big as the US, we have so much news about what is going on here, that it tends to crowd out international events. If we watched news about everything that went on, that'd be all we watched. Personally, I feel local news is usually more important to me any way, has it tends to affect me more.




Very succinctly put Sit T and exactly the point I was trying to make. It wasn't a criticism, merely an observation and if I gave anybody the impression that I don't care about the people who died from this terrorist attack I apologise.

It's Richmond by the way , been there.
