Access to the target audience is a legitimate issue. But Western media's
pretty
pervasive, between CNN, the BBC, Radio Free America, etc. I'd sure be
nice if we got Islamic fire-and-brimstone types thundering about the
Satanic evil of these actions, and at least the honest ones should feel
that way. You don't have to approve of the US to be horrified by this.
