part of the reason is that it's so easy to report death and destruction, easy to go out to the massacre or huge crater and look at the aftermath, and it has more shock value, which causes people to watch, 'cause its all about the ratings after all. But honestly i have to admit, the fight and dealing with the threat is more important than the iraq having electricity, thats not a real accomplishment
people arent interested in hearing that iraqis have water, electricity and hospitals, because we already have all that stuff, and take it for granted, any interruption of those amenities for us results in crack teams of experts rushing to restore it. hearing that iraqis now have electricity is like hearing that the iraqis wipe thier ass with toilet paper, it's not a great accomplishment that they have these things, they're supposed to have these things, its basic and not of significance to the overall conflict
what is important is kicking those damn insane terrorist's asses to kingdom come, so they never bother us again, they will restore thier water, electricity and all those basic things on thier own if left to themselves, thse things are secondary to the annihilation of despots and radicals (what we're eally there for), and will occur regardless of our involvement
i just plain dont watch the news anymore
