Midwest Insurgency and Violence

So another headline today says "five die in mideast violence." At this point that's not really news. You get that day after day, it's not really news anymore. What would be news is "five people die in midwest violece" where an IED goes off in the small suburban town of Mapleleaf or something and the Sunni insurgency takes responsibility. That would be news. at this point violence in the mideast is about as much news as "......and then we had a cup of coffee."
