Answer 1

Isn't it amazing how people suddenly care about something -- especially when it happens in their own back yard, for a change.

Answer 2

Sorry America have killed and enslaved more people than that so it is not a Holocaust but a Tragedy. it cannot be compared 6 million Jews and Millions of Muslims Have dies or still dieing b4 America existed and after it. and America Enslaved the Minds of men to think oh this could not happened to me, but this place is built from sticks and stone and can fall and did fall only in one place.. but on the other America have been tearing up and Enslaving, and separating, stealing and lieing for years it was bound to catch up with them. I'm an American but Wrong is wrong and right is right the losers in this game were the 3 thousand people and thousand of Muslims that have died . Remember that 9/11 was more than just America more than just that is was the beginning of a reality check.

Answer 3

You are right about the killings ongoing in Africa. But don't dilute the horror by comparing it to the 9/11 conspirators. And never get near the Nazi holocaust losers. My great-grandfather was part of the liberation in 1945 when he walked into Buchanwald and saw the skeletal remains, the crematoriums, etc. Also, the photo documentation is amazing. Also, talked with dozens of friends who lost family and belongings. I think of all the human beings I disrespect the most it is the sad sacks who think the holocaust was but a "movie prop."

Answer 4

I find it amazing that you could even compare the holocaust to the tragedy that occured on 9/11. Not only that, but within the same unpunctuated sentence you compared it to the death of Princess Diana.

Princess Di's death was a tragedy, no doubt about that. The world lost a wonderful humanitarian and philanthropist and her passing deserves to be mourned.

The act of terrorism on 9/11 was a grave catastrophe and the shock and consequences are still rippling people's lives today. Each and every one of the 2900+ people who died were murdered by an act that most of us can never fully understand. How can you think, for even a minute, that we should just "get over" an act of terrorism in the US? What about the lives lost? What about the kids without a father or mother? What about the people who helped clean up the mess after the attack and are developing lung problems? Should we just tell them to "get over it"? The people who died deserved to be memorialized just as publicly as they were murdered. Not only were they murdered by religous fanatics, it was a slap in the face to everything we, as a nation-state, hold dear. But neither of these acts could be considered genocide.

Do you realize that 6 million Jews were exterminated during the holocaust? The only case of genocide throughout history that could have possibly been worse was Stalin's forced famine in 1932-33 which killed 7 million Ukranians. Africa, as a continent, not a country, has suffered from genocide for many years. They too have lost millions of lives at their own hands. Those of us who know history care very much about the mass genocide committed globally because HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. Our own country has committed mass genocide. It was called the Civil War and 600,000-700,000 lives were lost. You cannot possibly compare any of these acts of genocide with the death of Princess Di or even the WTC terrorist attack.

Answer 5

no, not the new holocaust...there were millions slaughtered in the holocaust...but for me personally...i prefer to move on...yet..i had no one close to me killed in Sept 11...and so my preference isn't as valid as someone who did...
