It is pretty obvious that I am not a sane person.  However, this is all of sudden heart breaking because it happened on US soil when people have been bombed like crazy in Iraq and other places.  Sure I feel sad for the Americans that were killed and injured.  However, I don't really see how it is any different than an explosion killing people in other areas of the world just because it happened on US soil now people are scared / want to mourn people.   When most Americans hear about bombings going on in Iraq and other places they merely just shrug it off.  Am I upset that it happened?  Yes.  People get over tragic events.  Do you still think about the Conn school shooting, Amish school shooting, Columbine, the Holocaust, the Inquisition, etc...  Sure it might still be in your mind and ever once in awhile brought up but it doesn't bother you that much as time passes.

And that's why I said that no matter where pain happens it hurts (be it IRAQ, the US, etc. etc.). You know, I'm actually Canadian. But human life lost hurts.

Also, I think you value human life as much as I do, if not more, you just value animal life much more than I do. Just today I killed a mouse. As hard as that was, it had to be done. Call me a pussy.
