Brussels outrage. March 22, 2016 5:13 pm bowser

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/brussels-attacks/brussels-attacks-world-leaders-condemn-deplorable-terror-attacks-n543266

Western leaders roundly and loudly condemn the attack in Brussels.  And it is a tragic incident, causing needless suffering for innocent people.

However, the moral outrage is completely hypocritical.  Western countries and Russia have been busy bombing innocent people in the Middle East for years and years.  Yet when they target a western facility, somehow that’s not fair.

How ridiculous can folks be?  What runs through their minds?  (Don’t tell me the difference is that the West only targets hostiles, not civilians.  Simply untrue, and we all know it.)
