Let's compare 9/11 to the destruction of Europe in WWII.

In Europe, a survivor of WWII knew that his family would never be found, that
his city was totally destroyed and would not be rebuilt for years, and his
country about to be split into pieces, half of which would become communist
traps.  And we have hundreds of video games in which the player takes the role
of a destroyer and killer in that war.

In 9/11, a survivor might have lost a family member, but knows that his body
will eventually be found.  Only a few buildings were destroyed and will be
cleaned and rebuilt within a year or two.  Yet there are jerks who suffered
nothing and called themselves "refugees".  There are families who cry endlessly
because our culture considers it a priority to get attention.  If there are any
video games about 9/11, they will star the firefighters, the life savers.

But I would like to visit ground zero and 9/11 did anger me.  I won't soon
forgive Osama for lowering my nation's IQ by 20 points.
