One question. Rhetorical perhaps, but a question that ought to asked regardless. If the tragic events that took place in New York twelve months ago had happened in Afghanistan or Iraq etc would there be the same international and focused media coverage as there has been today? The answer, unfortunately, is blatently obvious and only comments on the fact that there is something fundamentally wrong with the West's perspective on international affairs. An inherent bigotry within our culture. A cultural rift too wide to surmount and a xenophobia too embedded to uproot.

Apologies for the interuption to scheduled mourning. Normal bullshit will be resumed as soon as possible.
