But as tater points out, the slave trade in that region, this is usually in the western media news from time to time. Sick activity that it is.

But back to the original question....is it possible that this area lacking in oil is not an interest of the US thus no media attention? Often it is said that Iraq war is about oil. I agree to some degree. Perhaps the carpet bombings would begin if the interest of the US was there?
