From this site:

Finally, riddle me this: why is it that “fury erupt[s] around the world” when a building in the Middle East goes down, but when one goes down in lower Manhattan we get nothing but candlelight vigils and morons beating peace bongos in Union Square?


Interesting point. The destruction of that building in Qana created worldwide furious rage.

The reaction around the world to the destruction of the World Trade Center was mostly sympathy--exactly the same response we would have gotten if those two buildings had fallen in an earthquake.

Not sure what this means, but it's still interesting.

Kind of like the phenomenon of all those "peace" marches, where every single sign attacks the U.S. or Israel, and not one of them calls on Hezbollah to stop the violence. I looked equally hard for anti-Saddam signs prior to the Iraq war.
