Default Why Is "The World" Unmoved By The Plight Of Pakistan?

Of all the headlines in all the news publications on the planet this
week, there's one that struck me as the strangest. In today's (8/13)
British newspaper The Independent,
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...n-2051331.html
the headline blares out at you: Why Is The World Unmoved By The
Plight Of Pakistan?

Just to make totally sure you get the guilt-trip, right at the top of
the article is a close-up picture of an old woman's tear-filled eye.

The story is strange for two reasons. First, "The World" in the
headline clearly means "The West." Why are we the world? Did all the
oil-rich Moslem countries like Saudi Arabia (which spends billions on
turning Pakistani boys into terrorists in their Wahhabi medressahs or
Moslem indoctrination schools) just fall off the edge of the earth?

Here's the second reason. Instead of this guilt-trip headline, why
isn't there a headline in any major news publication asking: Why Is
Obama Unmoved By The Plight Of The Unemployed?

Far - far - more heartbreaking for Americans than Paks up to their
butts in mud is the sight of their fellow Americans hungry, broke, and
desperate for a job they can't find.

Yet Zero doesn't care - he really actually couldn't care less. He'd
rather be playing golf. He has no intention whatever of increasing
employment other than put more people on government handouts (or
government jobs which is the same thing). Most folks intuit this to
be true but don't understand the actual mechanism engineered to make
it true.
