I was on holiday with my family in Spain when this happened. Our Spanish tour guide shouted to everyone "BIG BOMB IN AMERICA!!!" (Since we didn't know, we were like WTF?)

@pistak09 I thought it was 9th November as well.

@Elberiver11 My point exactly.

But I cant blame the soldiers/operators responsible, they were simply assuming the 5 year old was going to kill them.

Kill the little kid before he kills you. Regardless of innocence.

@97AlexN actually , over ONE MILLION were murdered in the middle east by the Bush-family.

Half of them were Iraqi children.

Peter Dobbie has aged a lot in ten years. He needs to get out in the fresh air, and stop peddling propaganda for the BBC.

@97AlexN "correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Japanese suffer more losses then Australia?"

Yup. Japanese war dead was around 2 million military fatalities. Australian war dead was around 32,000 military fatalities. Do you know why no one cares about the Japanese war dead? Because they were the enemy. You won't get anything more than a shrug from me. Same for the Muslims killed in recent conflict. I feel sorry for the children, but I couldn't care less about the adults.

[97AlexN]

@Halo4Lyf Not at all! Im beginning to think we only mourn over the "White" countries.

And correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Japanese suffer more losses then Australia?

Yet again, nobody in the western world cares.

[Halo4Lyf]

@97AlexN Tell me, there in Australia, is there a day to mourn the Japanese war dead from WWII?

[97AlexN]

@Halo4Lyf It is,

But I'm from Australia, and many of us are STILL ignoring whats going on in the Middle-East, and still making such a big deal over the September 11 attacks.

Infact, Ive heard some of the schools here, and in the UK actually have a day to mourn 9/11. But still no sign of a day about the thousands of men, women and children killed in the middle east.
