I'm a bit confused on something . When over 200 Russian lives were lost by a bomb being placed on board their aircraft, where was the outpouring of sympathy for them? Are we so opposed to the actions of Putin's Govt, that the lives of these innocent Russian tourists don't mean anything? How is this different then when terrorists brought down our planes on 9/11?

When suicide bombers killed 40 people in Beirut just a day before the attacks in Paris, isn't that just as bad as what happened in France? Or do we think everyone in Lebanon is a member of Hezbollah or on the Iranian payroll. Just ordinary folks minding their own business, when their lives were snuffed out in a blinding explosion. Where was the worlds outcry over that?

When bombs go off in Baghdad, killing innocent women and children around a market place, where is our disgust and horror over that?

Just trying to get things in perspective, but end up confused over how we judge the loss of lives in other parts of the world. We rally around France (and its the right thing to do!!) but we are dead silent on other parts of the world, where lives are lost all the time.

I wanted to pray for the family in Afghanistan, whose little 9 year old girl was beheaded by Daesh wannabe's over there, but they were beheaded too. Not one stinking outpouring of sympathy was extended to them from the rest of the world. We are too damned busy picking and choosing whose lives are more important. The West can be so damned conceited at times I think, its pathetic.
