watching people read out names of the dead on sky news. damn it's moving
Why do we remember this when there have been many more devastating events in recent history? Probably to reinforce the image of a need to wage a war on terror.
because it was the single largest attack of terrorism on a country?Quote:

Not the biggest cause of death though? 9/11 is blown out of proportion. Just look at the natural disasters around the world.Quote:

Would you like to say to the families of victims of any large natural disaster that their deaths were less meaningful because they weren't killed by human beings?Quote:
