What a tired and lame rant - you can put on your good lefty beret now, sir - while the rest of us appreciate what 9/11 was - a moment of intense grief for NY and America: your comparisons to WWII and European and African atrocities - not to mention Iraq, are so dimwitted and weak they hardly deserve comment except to say that, yes, we are entitled to our own history, our own pain and our own atrocities - can you imagine what the reaction might've been if people (like you) dismissed Rawanda's misery as petty on the scale of barbarities...
gee, only 800,000 killed by their neighbors - didn't that Stalin fellow take down 20 million? What have THEY got to grieve about... (and they even made movies...)
