Not long ago, the Middle East witnessed two major battles: One was the Mosul attack started by Iraqi government, and the other was the Aleppo battle participated by Syrian government forces with the support of Russia. Both of them have something to do with counter-terrorism.

Both ISIS in Mosul and al-Nusra Front occupying Aleppo are terrorist groups listed by the UN, but the Western countries have adopted different attitudes toward the two wars. On the one hand, they supported the Mosul battle and sent reinforcements to crack down on terrorism in a hope to make up for their “reputation damage” caused by the Iraq war; on the other hand, they tried to stop Aleppo battle by defending the al-Nusra Front. They even accused Russia and Syria of undermining humanitarianism.

俄驻土大使遇袭身亡后，尽管西方各国政府也多在第一时间对袭击行为表达了谴责，但多家美欧媒体的相关报道，却依旧不乏再“黑一把”俄罗斯的色彩，叙述中刻意强调袭击事件“与俄罗斯支持巴沙尔·阿萨德政权、对叙利亚平民狂轰滥炸有关”。

Though many Western governments condemned the attack soon after the assassination of the Russian Ambassador, some media still showed their bias against Russia by emphasizing in their reports that “the incident was related to Russia’s support for Assad government and bombing of Syrian civilians.”

恐怖主义是人类的共同威胁，打击恐怖主义是每个国家都应该承担的责任。但现实中，一些国家在反恐问题上采取双重标准，或者在反恐过程中夹杂“私货”，有时甚至以“反恐”为工具，希望借此收获“额外利益”。面对反恐这一全局性问题，打小算盘的后果必然是严重的、惨痛的。19日两次袭击事件的受害方，一头是俄罗斯，一头是老牌西方国家。在叙利亚等中东热点问题上，西方与俄罗斯长期处于对立状态，但恐怖主义却并未对此“作出区分”。由此足见，极端主义、恐怖主义一旦蔓延，没有谁能成为真正赢家。放下分歧、合力反恐，对于整个世界具有紧迫性和必要性。
