For a start, I saw comments on this thread about how no matter what, we mustn't forget 9/11, and to mourn its victims, and how I should be too from the UK. But then I thought, have Americans got a day to mourn the innocent Muslim civilians killed by their US (and other countries too, of course) armies? They're not in the same country, yet if what others have said applies, they should be pulling out the flowers and memorials for Muslim civilians too.
After all, they're fellow humans too, right?
But have I seen, and will America, ever do this? I highly doubt it, for reasons I can only guess.
The only things that come out of it are Qu'ran burnings and other protests that annoy the Middle East further and cause more deaths.

These are my thoughts exactly.
What I don't understand is what gives people who have more of an emotional response to 9/11 than people who have little or indeed no response the right to take up a 'holier-than-thou' attitude? As if mourning the event makes them that much better than everyone else? If not on here, then I definitely feel it elsewhere on the internet.
I am one of the ones, like you, who never has and never will shed tears. But only because of the simple fact that I'm not emotionally connected to 9/11 one bit.
For a start, I'm de-sensitized to death and such, so videos of people falling for the towers do not shock me. I don't know if I should be sorry or not for that, but just in case, I'm sorry.
I can't imagine their lives, because I DO NOT know their lives!
For all I know, that person falling could be a crack dealer slash serial murderer who got away with it. How can I be shocked about a life I know absolutely nothing about? If that person was a crook, what do I do then?
