You Yanks are so self obsessed....2004 Tsunami was a damn sight more significant than bloody 9/11

[ehcmier]

9/11 marked a change in the WORLD in ways the Tsunami cannot begin to, you bigot! 9/11 affected multiple countries in ways that are not going away anytime soon. 9/11 was an attack on American soil but the consequences were rapidly global, and no major country is immune. The Tsunami is in the past, and much of the world can forget it happened, but terrorism and scary government policy march on. The Tsunami's after-effects do not affect the daily lives of every major country. See the difference?

Tell that to the families of a quarter million dead people who still suffer you Yank moron!Terrorism has always been around,but attack the Yanks and the whole World is expected to grieve.We reap what we sow,you got what you deserved,the Tsunami victims didn't deserve their fate.But I expect such narrow minded views from the Worlds most hypocritical Cuntry.

@ehcmier , you have great point, tough it is not popular

[ehcmier]

How narrow-minded are you to think 9/11 is only an American event? Natural disasters have and will continue to destroy people by the hundreds of millions in brief and powerful events. As far as humans are concerned, how societies conduct themselves and interact within and without will always get the stronger focus. 9/11 led to a major increase in fucked up society, global division, increased racism, and continues to strain the global economy.

Your society was fucked up long before 9/11.Your Southern states bigots want to "kill the nigger"President.A sad indictement on your so called free and equal opportunity "Society".The Global Financial Crisis was bought on by Yank greed long before 9/11.

How the hell was it more significant? It was a natural disaster!! 9/11 was political and more complex..

Yes, we are. Is there someone more deserving of our attention than ourselves? However, by comparison I would have to say that there are a number of European nations far more self-obsessed than us. Most notably "neutral" countries like Norway who are too self-absorbed to get involved unless they are invaded by Germany in both WW1 and 2, this is smug ignorance at best. Atleast, we have a presence on the global stage not only in terms of military, but in terms of aid and cultural presence.

[2005kanda]

Speaking of WW1&2 where were you guys when they broke out?..........Australia went to war with Britain immediately they were threatened both times!

[iSAW7]

We were on a different continent. We were in America. We were trying to let Europe handle it's own business, remember? Perhaps if those so-called "neutral" European countries were willing to accept responsibility for their own Continent we would not have to have been involved in "Europe's War". It seems to be a theme across the world these days.
