I don't understand why no one has thought of that aspect yet while trying to criticize the situation.
Also, Americans like to think of this country as relatively safe. When something like this happens, it opens up the reality that the U.S. isn't protected from everything. They don't feel the same about other countries, seeing them as not being organized enough to mount a defense.
Yh i like this reasoning to it

Again, its not Americans. It is human nature.
Most people do not assume something is going to happen to them.
A life in fear is not a life at all.
Most people do not give a rats ass beyond what is considered socially expected.

True, it's all around, but in America especially. This is a country which is considered a military superpower, and people expect that to give it's citizens a "protected" status all around.

But its not especially, we are simply more vocal/on center stage because we are attention **Filtered**.
It is the same for everyone, they just don't get to be in the spotlight as much as us.

I dont know about that, the rest of the world has bombings seemingly much more often than American does, so when america has one its more of a suprise, due to the reasons ANG has said

I think we have more issues than you are generalizing.
Everyone deals with terrorism.

Agreed. Americans are often assigned stereotypes and the like that fit most of the world, simply because we draw a lot of attention to ourselves.
I do have to say though, if this DID happen in a country frequented by war and destruction, it wouldn't have been all over the news there. It may get a mention in the obituaries, but it wouldn't be the thing everyone was talking about.

We have no real terrorism in the Netherlands. Just the occasional lunatic; but those are unimportant.
So we live vicariously through the United States, who kick up a fuss every time someone brings a knife on a plane or bombs some trash can somewhere.
Guess the same holds true for the rest of Europe.
Kind of pathetic on our part, if you ask me. Would be better to start a few terrorism groups and see what happens media-wise.

We have occasional terrorism and high criminality rate in my country, but media just tries to hide its head in sand with the utter incompetence of the current government who doesn't want to pick on its potential voters (urban thugs and far left troublemakers).

It is not home soil in Europe though, and yet it is being made into a major catastrophe and oh-oh terror yikes!
Hell, more people die each day in traffic accidents in the Netherlands alone. So yeah. I still wonder why the hell this is so much worse than what happens in Iraq/Afghanistan/Pakistan/Libya/Tunisia/Egypt/Sudan/and other members of the Caliphate. (Only looking at major centers of terrorism here. Of course traffic and disease still kill a lot more than terrorism ever will.)
Then again, I suppose if the apple salesman sells pineapples, that is news, whereas the pineapple salesman selling pineapples is just doing his job.
And Obama is doing a GREAT job selling his pineapples......FALSE FLAGS for political agendas.

Trust me, if we wanted coverage in another country's terror, we would cause it, and then plant a story. THAT IS ALL. You are now done. I don't care who likes your posts, you are a sheep and I am done wasting time on you. Fare thee well....
