Two car bombs: and two Western reactions

It just occurred to me.  There was a car bomb in Damascus a few months ago that killed a Syrian intelligence chief.  Western media and governments hailed the bombing as a heroic act that killed a villain.  There was a car bomb in Lebanon yesterday against a Lebanese intelligence chief.  Western media and governments denounced the bombing as a heinous terrorist act that killed a good guy.  This shows the extent to which Western media AND governments apply moral standards in evaluating violent acts.  Who are you kidding, really?
