The World's 'Priority' Has Nothing to Do With the Numbers

Here's an update on the critical flotilla situation: word has it that there will be an inquiry, with "international input," into the brutal and totally uncalled-for massacre of nine--or was it ten?--Turkish jihadis humanitarians by crazed Israelis. And since that's about to happen, pay no attention at all to the scant numbers, which pale into insignificance beside the flotilla slaughter, cited in this Al Jazeera report:

Tens of thousands of ethnic Uzbeks have fled fighting which has killed at least 100 people in the south of Kyrgyzstan.

Up to 80,000 ethnic Uzbeks, mostly women and children, have crossed the border into neighbouring Uzbekistan and were being housed in hastily-set up camps along the border.

Kyrgyz authorities sent five planes of soldiers from the capital Bishkek to Jalal'abad, where the worst of the fighting appeared to be centred on Sunday.

The defence ministry also mobilised all army reservists age 18 to 50 to quell the fighting between ethnic Uzbeks and Kyrgyz which began on Thursday.

More than 1,200 people are reported to have been injured but doctors and rights workers have warned the real figure may be much higher because ethnic Uzbeks were too afraid to seek hospital treatment...

Quel relief that that flotilla inquiry is set to get underway, eh? Otherwise, how would the world ever get to the bottom of the watery, er, holocaust?
