That's the address of an article about civilians killed in Syria.
There should be no declarations from Western governments about today's London attack that do not acknowledge that we're not the only people who are suffering losses.
The years of counting one Westerner as being worth several others should never have happened, and yet, centuries later, those years haven't stopped happening.
If someone had apologized this morning, the London attack might not have happened. If we want people who aren't us not to think we're all alike, then we can't treat them as if they are.
Even ISIS could have understood an apology for civilian deaths; not that it gives those apologies. We could have set that example, and we should, and these accidental incidents have to stop.
Premeditated murder doesn't cause indifference nearly as often as indifference provokes murder, but there's no excuse for either.
