Why is the Virginia Tech tragedy resonating so deeply around the world?

Yeah Bill O'Reilly asked the same question tonight. He talked about the 12 Iraqi policemen killed on video today and released on the jihadist website. He also informed people on the 4 bombs that the Sunni dropped and killed over 150 people today. I think it was the Sunni anyway. But yeah, I think it's a huge story for us because it happened in our country. It's more personal and we are able to empathize more. And other countries care about this because it happened to America. But I still don't know why there is so little coverage of fallen soldiers around the globe.
