I read, on another board, this morning a guy say that 655,000 is a reasonable number of civilian losses, anywhere else in the world as long as it prevents another September 11th event on American soil. It is this attitude that makes it difficult to live in this country at times. There are so many Americans place a greater value on American lives than they do on people from other countries. Americans are so superior in every way that their lives are worth 200+ lives from anywhere else. I don't think I've ever been so repulsed in my life.

3,000 people lost in the 9/11 events is mind numbing enough, but 50,000 is just beyond our comprehension (wipe Red Deer off the map). 655,000 is a number we will never be able to get our minds around. Imagine being in Ottawa one day, then it being completely gone the next. That's what 655,000 is like. But it's okay, as long as it isn't happening in America.
