Comparisons of other things to the Holocaust are done too often in my opinion. Some diversity might be useful, we can start comparing horrible things to the killing fields of Cambodia, or to the man made famine in the Soviet Union....

There are some similarities between 9/11 and the Holocaust. Both of them killed a lot of innocent people and both of them where target primarily at civilians. Of course the differences are important as well. The Holocaust was a lot bigger and it was the action of the government of a large country, rather then just the action of a few dozen people (including the people who directly supported the attack but where not on the planes) that where part of a organization with several thousand members.

Since the Holocaust was much worse and since there are other differences I can see why someone would say the comparison is less then ideal, but I don't see any reason to be taken aback by the comparison. Both where acts of horrible evil. Its not like when people compare trivial things to the holocaust.
