9/11 : death count < 3000. I'm not minimizing the atrocity, trying to put it in perspective with events around the world. Where was the US sense of "we have a mandate to fix things our way" during these decades ? You keep missing that "post 9/11" in my replies, dont you? Besides, all of those others could be described as border disputes... NONE of which resulted in the MASS MURDER of AMERICANS (categorical imperative). I'm not minimizing the atrocity, trying to put it in perspective with events around the world. If it results in minimizing the event - why not admit it is minimizing the event? BTW, another fact of life (both pre and post 9/11) - just like Palestinians care more about Palestinian casualties and the French care more about massacres of the French etc... Americans* care more about the murder of Americans. *Most Americans anyway (just a general statement - not directed at you).
