is the world/ the West up in arms about a terrorist attack in Iraq? No, because we've already been bombing the piss out of them for 13 years now.
So sad how the masses will shed crocodile tears over the death of innocents in our "ally countries", but when something like this happens in Iraq, Africa, West Papau, no one even cares.
R.I.P. my thoughts are with the poor souls who have lost loved ones or been otherwise harmed from this attack...

It's not that it's any less important in fact the nuance is vitally important to understand what exactly is going on, the bombings in Iraq are related to sectarian violence or violence against perceived apostates and cheaters. The attacks on the west are attacks against the kafir or infidel, these distinctions are made within the operating groups and the tenants they follow in the faith. People think this came out of no where, that if we never bombed these attacks would not happen, but that is demonstratively untrue, and yes of course innocent life lost no matter where it is, is never ok.

“I have the first complete set of data on every al-Qaeda suicide terrorist from 1995 to early 2004, and they are not from some of the largest Islamic fundamentalist countries in the world. Two thirds are from the countries where the United States has stationed heavy combat troops since 1990.
Another point in this regard is Iraq itself. Before our invasion, Iraq never had a suicide-terrorist attack in its history. Never.
Robert Pape: Over the past two years, I have collected the first complete database of every suicide-terrorist attack around the world from 1980 to early 2004. This research is conducted not only in English but also in native-language sources-Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, and Tamil, and others — so that we can gather information not only from newspapers but also from products from the terrorist community.
