Well, the Sun and the Tory MPs will always be like that. It's not their empathy that'll be awakened. They'll fake crocodile tears until it blows over.
Over here, though, it has the potential to help bring down the government. Chris Alexander was forced to suspend his re-election campaign for a few hours, supposedly to discuss the case, at least until someone tweeted a picture of his campaign office open again. Harper responded in a particularly atrocious faction, which was to call for more bombing of the region and castigating Ontario for some reason.
It all went over about as well as you'd think. One might hope the same for other Western countries; the possibility exists for people to say enough is enough and start agitating against anti-immigration policies. It won't help these dead kids but it might be fewer dead kids in the future.
