Why don't we care about these girls?

I don't know if it's just me but I notice a big difference in media coverage and political babble about foreign events in general. I think Obama determined that the American public are generally just war weary and he's taken a weak stance on everything since. Syria, the Ukraine, North Korea, even Israel. He's focusing on home and just placating people with words and empty threats about what's going on overseas.

So, our leaders express outrage over what's happened to these girls, offer some strategic/practical help and then shut up about it. It's outside our area of immediate concern.

Of course I feel badly for those girls but I tend to agree that we can only get involved so much. These fucked up people need to address their own messed up countries and deal with the criminals in their midst themselves or with their own allies.
