Ted, 9/11 was a terrible event but pales in comparison to what has gone on in the Congo for the past ten years; Burma; Iraq; Sri Lanka; Afghanistan; in the Lebanon of the 1980s; in Europe under Hitler; in the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians for the past 50 years; and between the Prots and the Catholics in Northern Ireland. There are much worse events in this world and there will be much worse events in the future. Most people in America aren't going to see it that way. Is it wrong for Americans to be more pissed off about 9/11 than about what happens in the Congo or Burma? That's like saying Katrina was a two-bit hurricane until the ineptitude of FEMA elevated it to the worst natural disaster in history. It doesn't change the fact that Katrina came and went and left behind a wide trail of devastation. Perspectives mean everything. Tenchusatsu
