Violence is an American thing! It is also a cultural entertainment thing, i.e. Hollywood ! ( point being a source of desensitization of reality etc...)

This kind of tragedy is a daily thing in America, so killing innocent Iraqi's or anyone anywhere has no real impact anymore, no empathy, no compassion!

It just doesn't mean anything to Americans, including the deaths of their own soldiers in a wrong event! (except to the "direct" families involved)

9/11 was a terrible event, as other events, but at the end of the day more people are killed in America's backyard daily, which makes 9/11 just a bump!

Now how many innocent civilian Iraqi's have been killed and does any American really care? Probably not, as a matter of fact they do not !!

If they did, these events of today would be different!
