"A tragedy is unfolding in the Mediterranean, and if the EU and the world continue to close their eyes, it will be judged in the harshest terms as it was judged in the past when it closed its eyes to genocides when the comfortable did nothing," Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said.

Up to 700 feared dead after migrant boat sinks off Libya

Keeping illegal aliens OUT of a country is genocide?! It's NOT like the Italians are killing those people because those unsafe boats are sinking.

Tho IF genocide's happening IN Africa; then it's on the other African countries to step up and help out their own. Sheesh!

Of course, the US, with its long frontier, is easy pickings. But it opens our eyes to the fact that even a much more formidable barrier, the Mediterranean, doesn't stop them from trying. Even if they end up migrating to the bottom of said sea.

SO WHAT??? nobody asked them to come, a few more sinkings like that might put some/most off from trying.

Of course it's the Europeans' fault. Always us getting the blame even when we're not even slightly at fault.

Life is Cheap in the THIRD WORLD just like it has been in the rest of the world for most of history. They knew the risks.
