What we didn't see, and will never see on television are the horrible things that America itself has done. If we saw more footage of American soldiers in the Middle East, now and in other disputes there, we all would really realize what devastating things the Americans have done. I mourn over those, not 9/11, because, in the end, America has done much more to other countries than 9/11 did to them.
And of you're not quite convinced yet, how about the passive agression America has created. The American government continues to do very little towards Africa, were thousands die every day. And, as seen in the film Hotel Rwanda, the American peacekeepers left when things were getting violent. They evacuated all Americans, but they didn't care about the innocent non-American lifes there.
