Double standards

Everybody is utterly shocked and appalled when, for once, the western world gets a taste of war within its own borders. How come nobody is terrified when the western world deliberately sentences to death millions of people in the middle east (e.g. Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Palestine..) and/or North Africa (e.g. Libya) just because an oligarchy has decided so (so that we can sustain our decadent lifestyle at home)?? Isn't that terrorism? (Maybe neoliberal Nazism would be the right nomenclature here) Or is it that 100 people here are worth more than 1 million people on the other side of the world? Is it really a case of "out of sight out of mind"? Maybe not, considering that we don't get it even when who actually manages to flee the war (again in millions) comes at our door asking for asylum. 21st century mass migrations and terrorism are to a great extent a product of the western world. The moment we will all realize this and take the responsibility for our horrible deeds, we will live in a better world.
