I don't live in America, but to provide insight from another Western country: this is absolutely terrifying. Why is everyone so... passive? The US been a key figure in social change, civil rights, and is a tad nosy when it comes to the affairs of other countries... but its people are willing to accept such a horrible and tragic conflict on their own soil? I wouldn't want to raise children there either. I feel like this ignorance only prevails because of a strongly nationalistic and individual-focused culture. The "It's not happening to me, so I don't care" attitude is getting out of control. In the day and age of globalization, you would think such an attitude would diminish.
