I have come to learn really, unfortunately, that some people are more equal than others.
The life of a person in Europe and America is considered more important than elsewhere. The mainstream western media has done a great job of portraying the middle-east as nothing but a war zone therefore the people from "the West" feel that it is normal for dozens of people dying in the hands of terrorism in that area but it is somehow not normal and tragic when it happens in 'the West.'
The loss of lives at the hands of these vermin wherever they may be should be considered as a tragic thing, regardless of where it happens, period.
