My feeling about the actions of the American government in Iraq (& their other foreign policy) are documented.
The events of September 11th 2001 were the moment I became honestly aware of the truly horrible things that people do to each other & everything that has happened since has appeared to have been a horrific reaction to that.
Am I pissed off that people are being killed by my government & the US government? Yes!
Is this a good day to think about the hundreds of thousands of people who have died leading up to & in response to the attacks on that day? Yes!
The Tsunami is a separate thing, and a natural event (as was the Pakistani Earthquake & the Hurricanes in America) & can't really be compared to people killing each other.
Plus, watching the Naudet brothers' documentary again last week reminded me of the human factor.
