Colin, there are flareups all the time over there... About a year ago, they finally threatened nukes. As I said, the only time the US got involved was because they threatened nukes... it got covered for as long as that piece of news hit the cycle. Once that was over, the reports disappeared.
They have been fighting for this piece of land for a long time. People die all the time. They fire shots at eachother regularly (daily basis, from what I can tell) - but it gets no coverage in the US because there is no US interest.
I bet if they yelled "NUKES" tomorrow, they would be front page for a couple of weeks again...
