CIA kills thousands of Iraqi citizens and nobody panics.
But they kill one American and everyone loses their minds.
Someone brought this up on some other site. The whole "hundred die" and then one particularly important person dies and everyone goes crazy thing.
Do you personally grieve or get worked up at every death in the world? No. Because 99% of those people you don't even know. Yes, things like these are tragedies, but they don't particularly pertain to us, and we certainly don't even know who they are. I'm sure other countries' peoples don't give a rats ass about some of the murders or mass shootings here.
