two million dead, four million displaced since 1983

two million dead since 1983

1983 was over twenty years ago. This conflict has been going on, with massive casualties and displacements, for more than twenty years. Why is it that the news media in the US is only just now beginning to report on it? Where have they been hiding since 1983? What hidden agenda has brought them out of the woodwork only recently with all of their righteous indignation? Taking potshots at the UN and spreading more hatred toward Arabs perhaps? Maybe the US wants all of that oil for itself. Pardon me for being cynical, but this pattern looks familiar to me.
