You could be right, and that it's because the event has far more significance to the US than to elsewhere, but at the same time the terrorist attacks affected everyone, and a lot of smaller countries had smaller attacks too. I know 9/11 was in America, but so many people died from other countries and from other nations in the towers, I have to question why it's more significant to America. Sorry, I just really don't get it :-/

I have a feeling that America puts up lots of trivial stories as major news in their media for some reason. For one I remember Elizabeth Smart getting missing and then being found all making big news. I don't know what's such a big deal about that that everybody has to know about? i guess it does help them being found but i've seen photos of missing children on store bulletin board who don't get publicized in press.
