Wow. With all the [censored] that has been going on in the world for centuries, because a bunch of half-witted greedy assholes can't get enough money into their hands, people still start bitching around about a dog that gets killed, or about some stupid comics someone drew, or... I guess that's a pretty good example how the media can blow something up to keep people busy..
Actually there are only very few wars which had to happen. Most wars happen because it is in some peoples favor to happen, be it to gain money or power or whatever.
And how exactly gives it someone hope in HUMANITY, when people care more about a dead puppy in a warzone than about all the people who die for NOTHING everyday and get NO media coverage?
