(12,051 posts)It's ridiculous to say there isn't. Now, about Paris -- it's a major, major city for business, culture, tourism, history, etc., etc., so OF COURSE most people will focus on it when it gets hit. Many of us have been there or are planning to go there, as opposed to going somewhere like Accra, Beirut, etc. Of course we are going to pay more attention to Paris. Jeez.

It could be you choose to focus only on the negative.
