I think it wrong to pin point days such as 9-11 and try to make it stand out as anything special. I'm sure many roll their eyes and say 'pointless hypocrites....they don't like it when they taste a little spoonful of their own medicine' and it is a viewpoint I can understand. And to then commit yet more international terror by invading two sovereign nations? Well, people sometimes have double standards when it comes to their definition of 'terror'.

As it stands I think 9-11 was quite awful, but no less awful than countless other acts of terror. 9-11 is only special to those who directly lost loved ones, but to any independent observer 9-11 shouldn't really stand out. It's a tiny event in the great scheme of all things evil and terror based.
