One Canadian dead; all over the news, 500 Americans dead; well...!

Yesterday, Cpl. Jamie Murphy, seventh Canadian soldier was killed in Afghanistan (4 Canadians were killed last year by the cowboy American pilots as well as two who were killed in October after their vehicle struck a land mine in remote areas of Afghanistan).

Since yesterday, the news of the death of this Canadian soldier has been all over the Canadian media and many people are talking about it. It is sadly interesting that many hundred American soldiers who have been killed in Iraq, don't attract the attention of the main stream US media. Perhaps this sad event and its reflection in Canada is another indication how different Canada and the US are in valuing peoples' lives, including their own.

My condolences to the family of Cpl. Jamie Murphy as well as the families of those killed American soldiers.
