The victims are also Muslim, just black rather than Arab.

It has been going on for a while- I have no idea why the press finally decided to even notice it. There are still NO headlines or major stories about it here in the US.

What lies are you talking about? Even Al-Jezera admits it is happenimng, they are just not making the kind of fuss they would over the US or Israel doing something.

I do not see any Neocon efforts here, at all. Just another massecre of innocent people that is ignored because liberals can't blame the econservatives for it.

And if the Iraq war was one of "blood for oil", why are oil price up, and production down? One would think that if we attacked to get the oil we might have been able to get some of it.
