Less worthy? Your choice of words. I think there is a distinction between military and civilian. I mourned the loss of our soldiers in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia in years past, as I will mourn those lost at the pentagon. However, they are soldiers, and if we are the world's police force, we must accept the loss of life as part of the price. Terrible, yes. To be avenged? Yes.
But in some deranged way, the pentagon has that "surgical" feel to it.
The WTC is beyond comprehension. We lost 58,000 men in Nam (? pbs documentary recollection-- needs verified) in a decade of fighting. WTC might be half that in an hour. Citizens. Broadcast live to the world.
Let me try it a different way. Do you draw any distinction between German soldiers in WWII who fought in, say the bulge verses deathcamp guards? One group was guilty of war crimes, the other was possibly just the enemy.
