Imagine for a second what the reaction would be if an Iranian missile had hit an elementary school in Philadelphia and killed 165 little girls and school staff. After all, the Sandy Hook shooting killed 20 children at an elementary school, which prompted national mourning and was front-page news for weeks.
So 81 dead American children would be a cataclysmic event, doubtless resulting in widespread horror and hatred of the monstrous regime that launched the missile that killed them. But, apparently, if those little girls happen to be living in Iran, their violent, painful and senseless deaths are one of those unfortunate things that just happens. Oops.
