Bill, Your American centered attitude is why Americans have the reputation that WE do ( Yes I am 100% American ).
You need to realize that Many died in that attack and we should remember all the victims of it, not just the Americans that were the original attack target. If the terrorist were able to plan this attack with so much precision don't you think they were aware that citizens of other nations would also be in there? I was once like you and thought that the world revolved around the US of A. I had the opportunity to travel overseas and see that while we do have a major impact in the societies of the world, we are not the end-all, be-all that our media would have us believe. As you grow older, you will hopefully have the opportunity to travel and see that this is in fact the case. My first response to you was off-line, politely explaining that ALL that died should be remembered, not just Americans. Now I feel I must defend those of Americans that realize that ALL life is important, regardless of race,nationality,religious belief ( I happen to be a White,American,Christian ). I believe that you are confusing today with Memorial day and Veterans Day, both which are distinctly AMERICAN holiday's, originally meant to honor AMERICANS. 9/11 was a world event, as evidence by the memorials being held all over the globe. I think that it is completely foolish that we even have to have this discussion at all, let alone a Cisco Group Study mailing list. Can we please go back to the Cisco topics at hand?

Make NO mistake who the target of that attack was - the loss of anyone to terror is tragic, but the citizens of foreign countries that were lost were unfortunate collateral damage in the eyes of the soul-less dogs that will die 1000 deaths. Don't confuse today's remembrance with Memorial Day or Veterans' Day.

I'm sure you don't really have as black-and-white a perspective on this issue as your post would suggest. Sujal comment is quite appropriate.
