I'll shut up now.

I'm with you on this as well, as callous as it may sound. My heart goes out to the 3,000 9/11 victims, but it also goes out to the 100,000+ dead civilians in Iraq as well.
Hundreds, thousands of deaths occur every day for wrong reasons. 9/11 was just on our soil, which is the only thing that makes it different from the rest. But it doesn't make it any more important than the other war-related deaths that have occured because of those events on that day 6 years ago.
