    My post was in reply to your only comment on the article " Kenyan Tribe Learns Of Severity of 9-11" which, to me, comes off as incredibly pompous and condescending, and implies that 9/11 should actually a signifigant event to them - even though there are problems a hundred times worse on their own continent.
    Well you come across as a complete arse. Obviously if you had read the article you would have learned that the tribe knew of the event but didnt realise its severity until it was described to them in more detail.

            I know what you are saying jon. The problem here is that the US posters are (and rightly so) very touchy about WTC attack. You are right when we look at all the other killing it seems odd to focus on one place and one time. But you also can`t relegate peoples suffering or the real lose by saying that it has happen else where. It was a massive crime and it is right that the focus is on it.
            We have to remember it did not happen in one of our cities (though many UK nationals died that day). There pain and horror is stronger. It was a direct and massive attack against their home and people, you don`t forget that in a hurry.

            I know you are not trying to relegate their suffering, but when dealing with this topic you have to ask yourself what we would do, and who would be helping us. And the answers are we would be at war (with some F@cker) and the US would be fighting alongside us.

                    Well it took me long enough to write the bloody thing (didn`t want to upset anyone - looking for the right words), so you will have to excuse the spelling as per.

                      I dont think youre stupid or an evil person, but for those of us who lived through it, its very difficult to hear someone portray it as insignificant. Please try to be a little more sensitive next time.

                          BTW, private citizens in the USA who give money to private charities and NGO's give more money as aid than all foreign aid programs. This is true for other countries charities and their official aid programs

                            Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that it was insignificant.

                              And for red_jon's next trick, he will go to a US WWII vet who was stationed in Pearl Harbor, say, "HA! You bastards deserved it!", and get his ass kicked by a 80 year old vet.

                                I was going to disagree there and call you ignorant(do to the fact that there is more than one in the world), but as an arrogant American I'll just agree.

                                POLOTICS powerful nation: an extremely powerful nation with greater political, economic, or military power than most other nations, or with all three
