THAT is what pisses people off about the over-the-top coverage of the Paris attacks.

One minor yet obvious difference......Paris is a City that has been "glamorized and fantasized" in hundreds of movies over the years. For many, Paris is their "dream" vacation or the place of their Honeymoon. There must be thousands (heck, millions) of Americans who have framed pictures and artwork of the Eiffel Tower in their homes......ornaments on their Christmas trees.
People feel like they have a connection to Paris and can probably point to it on a map......not so sure about locations like, Beirut or Lebanon???
