Well you got 400,000 children dying of Malaria every year. Between the time you wrote your post and I responded 400 children died.

Since there isn't any way to use their deaths to further a political agenda no one cares.

Stats and images of sickly children have motivated (and "motivated") donations to countless non-profits and NGOs that lobby for the Democratic party, and religious organizations that lobby for Republicans. This is straight out of Contemporary Politics 101.
