I recall when the slaughter of people of any country mattered to us.

Black lives matter and American lives matter is the new mantra.

I am ashamed of my country ignoring this for so long, and we create not only another vacuum, but a refugee problem of the huge proportions.

I sure can't say what would have happened had we really cared about people being gassed, etc. but we didn't and as you said...at least all those bodies were not Americans.
