It is indeed sad that ethnic or tribal cleansing is going on in Sudan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iran, Iraq and Libya. If people would only stop trying to eliminate their neighbors.

It appears to this casual observer of current events, that most Americans are in fuzzy amnesia-like state in which they can't, or don't want to understand geo-politics, current events, or recognize an ongoing horrific ethnic cleansing even if it was huge brick wall right in front of them.
