Comment by Ben — I have been meaning to point the following out for a while, but just when did all the people killed on 9/11 turn into "3000 dead Americans?" The victims of 9/11 came from about 40 different nations--Canada, Australia, most of the European countries, and parts of Africa, Asia and South America. This is no way to belittle the tragedy that befell over 2000 Americans, but let's not forget that there were people of several other nationalities in the WTC and aboard the hijacked airplanes--and I'm not referring to the mostly Saudi hijackers.
