Did 9/11 change you?

Kosovo certainly had thousands dead. India has fought with Muslims constantly over Kashmir. Ireland and the UK fought a bitter religious struggle for decades. Israel has religious conflict with deaths almost daily. They satisfy your requirements, excepting the 2 hour duration which is irrelevant.



I simply have a far more global viewpoint. I don't particularly value an American life over the life of any other country. 9/11 was a terrible tragedy. However, such tragedies occur all too frequently in the world. If I can go about my day with genocide happening in Darfur, why should I flip out over 9/11? I still prioritize American in my everyday life, but for purely practical reasons. My emotional center cares more about the innocence of the victims than their nationality.
