What?

I wake up late since I have no place I have to go today. No one is home. Suzanne is probably out picking up Mom from work.
The news is on. Breaking news. Seventy-eight people are known to be dead. Terror washes over India. The attackers are targeting people with British or American passports. Luckily, no Americans are known to be dead. How could the news reporter say that? Now, he didn't say "Luckily" but that's what it felt like when he said it. Seventy-eight people are dead, but so far none of them are Americans so it's okay. Now, I'm not saying that when anyone is killed the U.S. Government should step in and "take care of it", but why is it not as bad just because no one from our country is dead? Why can't we, as humans, care? Why can't we do all that we can to help those two-hundred people who are injured? What would give me hope is the news person announcing that a group of people have banded together and are on their way right now to try to do something good in Mumbai.
But no one is.
No one will do anything until there are some dead Americans. Is that the only thing that will make us do anything good for anyone, dead people?
I thank the people out there in Mumbai who are taking pictures and sending in videos to the major news companies. At least they are getting the word out about the horror of human anger.
May I search for a way to make a difference in this world, not because people are dieing, but because people are living and they deserve better.
