It's true that Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, etc. we're different in the way you specify from an American point of view. I'm sure those who are behind the recent attacks on America have plenty of excuses for their agression, just like you seem to have for your countrys acts of murder. They probably think they are fighting a war so terrible and important that these atrocious acts are acceptable means to an end.
The point I was trying to make is that the events of last September do not make the Top Ten list of crimes against humanity. So bollocks to this Political Correctness around the whole fucking thing. If this had happened in some African country it might not have even made it to the news. Did they play the Rwandan national anthem everywhere after the massacres there? Hardly.
Besides, I never said that Americans are biggots per se, but the American government and as it is percieved through the media certainly is.
OK, so don't ever watch any specials about Hiroshima or the Bombing of Dresden either (which both had a LOT more casualties, almost all civilian). Oh, but these were Americans that were killed, so this is different...
2.3 Mbit upstream and downstream SDSL for a little over $100 (American dollars) a month...
... too bad I live in Finland, sorry Americans. Quite uncommon to get such a deal, even here. It's sponsored by my school, so I guess maybe it doesn't count, since it's non-profit...
For the record: DSL rocks, if you can get the real thing.
