(His/her post is a little bit back so forgive me for brining it up so much later)

Are you trying to say that 32 americans dieing is better than 1500 sermalians?

It ticks me off when people compare figures and try to say one is not as bad as an other. For example on another thread on this form someone said The tsunami in Asia was worse that Titanic. Now in my view 1 person dieing is bad eventhough 10 times more people died in asia than on titanic I fail to see how one is worse than the other. Both are equally terrible. So in that respect a can't see why one is worse than the other apart from the fact one was a natural disaster and could't be averted.

Someone else said the Americans made to much of a deal about it, but am sorry a think they can be forgiven about watching a jet smash into the side of a building and making a big deal about it. I was 11 and a half when it happened. A taxi came to pick me up from school and he told me what happened then I got in and instead of watching the simpsons i watched the news and saw the plane go into it. It was unbelievable it was like a hollywood movie just seemed farfetched, was but it was true. My father in his car heard about it on the radio and he told me that every car around him slowed down untill they stoped and did not go for 5 mins it was just so shocking.

So now we are in a era where anything can happen and if someone says a disaster of some sort can happen, at least now they are not laughed at. Try telling someone before septenber 10th 2001 a plane could fly into a building and you would not be tacken seriously.


kjbevin you should't apoligise for tacking a mad turn, those people (who know who they are) that said the americans are at fault, should apoligise.

Oh and am fully aware I wrote earlier 'the Americans can't say they where not at fault'. What I meant about that was the government of the USA not the people. However no one can justify what happened, cetainly flying planes into a building is not the way to show you are upset about something they have done to you. But a don't see why bin laden was so angry at the Americans if someone clarifies that for me I would appreciate it. To my knowledge it was just a sensles act and there was no reason what so ever for it.
