Uncle Sam still champ at killing innocents

The world is rightly shocked at the 78 killed in Syrian gas attack likely initiated by the Syrian government, but still under investigation. It's Story One in every US media, fueling calls for action, including military, to punish and prevent recurrence. But when US warplanes bombed Mosul, Iraq killing 300 civilians in our totally futile and needless involvement in the Iraq civil war, the atrocity was Story Zero for US media. Only those concerned about our rampaging militarism in the Middle East got the news. Average Joe still doesn't know it occurred. Is there really a difference between being gassed to death in Syria and being blown to smithereens or crushed under tons of collapsed buildings in Iraq? The difference that matters is the US atrocity killed 222 more innocents than the Syrian atrocity. Let's fully investigate the gas attack and work with the UN and regional players to end the Syrian civil war. But first we should investigate the US atrocity and bring those responsible to justice to prevent Uncle Sam's next slaughter of innocents to keep US munitions makers building replacement WCD - Weapons of Civilian destruction.
