Some things do not get much attention - such as the problem between Turkey and Iraq due to Kurdish rebels, which has been going on since 1984.
http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/05/30/news/turkey.phpIraq cannot take care of its own problems nor can the United States prevent such activities as we hear in the news everyday.
There are many things that are reported in the news everyday from other countries that we may never hear about. I think it has to do with what the media and its advertisers consider "entertaining" to the general public, you know, those ignorant peasants we call voters. We cannot handle information overload or the truth. Feed us a spoonful so that we may survive. Then surprise us with reality.
