Rabbit, I enjoy jokes as much as the next guy.

Let me share this thought with you - as you now, the internet
is frequent by international participants - Europeans,
Middle Easterners, Latinos... Nepalis. When we joked about
the tragic deaths of others, it puts us in a bad light even though
what was said was meant nothing more than for laughs. They might
even go as far as seeing us as being contemptuous - as Ugly
Americans. As Americans, we have done many things right and we
don't want non-Americans to think that we practice a double standard -
we memoralized our dead while we poked fun at theirs.
