9/11

I was watching the Discovery Channel. There was some show about Nostradamus on, and they kept mentioning 9/11. Over and over again they said "It was the worst attack..." "Most horrifying...". I can't help but to disagree, but IT WAS NOT THE WORST!! 2,993 people died in that attack. Sure, a lot of innocent lives, but what about Hiroshima?
90,000-140,000 completely innocent people died in that attack, why isn't that considered the most tragic ever? When that happened we, as Americans, were no better than the terrorists were on 9/11. I would dare say, we were much worse. What about the 72,000,000 people that died in WWII? Why isn't that worse than 9/11? Or the 40,000,000 that died in WWI? WHAT ABOUT THE 25,000 TROOPS THAT DIED AS A RESULT OF THE 9/11 ATTACK?

I hate how Americans are like the emo teenage girl that wants everyone to feel sorry for her.
There have been so many worse things than 9/11. Get your head out of your ass and take a look around you.
Jesus Christ.

You're statement is erroneous.

9/11 was unprovoked
Japan attacked us first.

"The most horrifying" may be a bit of an overstatement, but Hiroshima and Nagasaki were completely justified. Because, after all, Japan never tried to fuck with us again, now did they?

In Japan, America considered it justified.
In America, the terrorists considered it justified.
Everyone have different perspectives on things.

I think it was considered to be the "most horrifying" by them due to the conditions in which it took place. Those events that you mentioned were in the wartime period. Losses were expected to be suffered. The 9/11 attack on the other hand, was a daring unprecedented move happening to modern America.

The losses are not what counts. It is the shock and surprise that such an act of violence could still happen which makes it horrifying.

I don't think retaliation can ever be justified, it's just an endless cycle and seriously- it's not like everyone from that country is *bad*.....but this is getting off topic...

Yes, but where is the evidence that proves that it is 100% true.

Conspiracy theories make me laugh. We all know the government hides shit from us. We just don't know what it is. Hell, there's a rumor that they government did it themselves.

9/11 was the worst because we were attacked its not like a war where people dieing is expected

That would make sense because didn't G.W senior have a beef with whatever the hell country they're killing?
