yeah people lose people all the time, why are 9/11 people more deserving?
Because they are Americans, and Americans are often spoilt babies about that sort of thing.
Can you imagine the reaction if someone starts complaining about the Anfal? (Saddam's campaign of mass-murder against the Kurds.) Folks would say, 'Oh, but that was in the 1980s, right? You just have to move on, get on with your life, don't dwell on it.' Blah blah blah. Up to 200,000 killed, and almost no-one has even heard of it, and doubtless most of those who
have heard of it only noticed because of the Iraq War. Who was paying attention at the time?
On 11 Sept. most of the world stood in solidarity with Americans. And then, they got on with living. Nothing changed on 11 September; the only thing new about the attack was the victim. It is America's lack of experience with being on the receiving end of shit-storms that makes people so freaky about this. It's like all these fuckin' Bush speeches lately talking about Vietnam, and our collective national 'trauma'! What about the two million Indochinese we killed? Who grieves for them?
