That's exactly the problem. We have short term memory and we forget what happened last week.
One country legally (or not) boards a ship running a naval blockade killing a few people who attack them with pipes and it's front page news, while another country sinks a warship killing fifty people and no one seems to give a shit.
Haiti is still suffering from the earthquake which we've already forgotten, but we are concerned about shrimp fisherman in the gulf going out of business.
Someone earlier today told me we shouldn't be in Afghanistan. I guess they forget all about 9/11.
Whatever. Let them all kill each other in the name of their god.
