<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>There are very few today who are able to know WWII firsthand. The WTC bombing happened yesterday, we all watched the entire event unfold on TV screens. What most of us know about WWII is out of a textbook, whereas we watched the WTC bombing on live TV. There's a respectable difference in personal connection here.

People fifty years from now will intellectually know about this, but that's it, just like we intellectually know about WWII. Insensitivity towards WWII is actually a weak issue, since relativly few people hold a very strong connection to WWII now, since the only connection they have is through textbooks. Yesterday we watched both towers crumble to the ground live... that leaves a much stronger connection to the event than a textbook can give to WWII.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm not saying the WTC bombing was a worse event, I'm saying that the amount of people who were actually THERE to become emotiotionally attached to the event and are still alive TODAY is far larger with the WTC bombing than WWII.</div>

Damn...I guess nobody is playing any RPGs today.

Damn...I guess nobody is playing any RPGs today.

Now in stores: Missile Command 2001! Defend hostile planes from bombing the WTC!

Yes, but the few who were even alive for WWII are probably in their 90s.

That was just two buildings, World War 2 was many many cities and nations, and peoples, it was an event which lasted 6 years, it's rediculous to say that insensitivity to world War II is a weak issue

How many people do you know who lost their families who are still alive today? The Civil War was worse than the WTC bombing, but no one from that era is even alive today...
