Re: 9/11 respect
Berlin - I agree with you.
Whilst it is worth remembering any innocent person person who has been caught up in someone else's fight, it does grate on my nerves somewhat, that this particular tragedy is singled out for special remembrance every year.
I know that it's dreadful for those who were killed in the blasts, and for their families and loved ones. As it is also for the people, paid or volunteer, who may suffer as a result of giving thier help.
But so is it also for the hundreds, from this country and others, who has suffered and/or died as a result of the American government's reaction to it all.
I don't think it is our place to have special remembrance for those in an American tragedy - just a general remembrance for all those who lose their lives or health in innocence
