Um, actually that was the biggest single terrorist act ever. That's why so much of the world is responding. Do you really think they care about us any more than we care about them? Nope, it's just that the ante got uped.

You're absolutely right that worse has happened though. This one in Rwanda is recent but nothing new. Consider the atrocities of the Nazi's or the Spanish Inquisition. Heck, Alexander the Great wiped an entire city-state off the map and was considered merciful becuase he didn't do the same to the city-state that backed them, Athens.

That we take notice at all shows that maybe the human race is improving. It means we are all starting to think of it as unexceptable. Take it as the only hope we have of surviving the next century as a species.
