Europe having its own 9/11 right now. Turn on the news.

[David Kilroy]

To parse the tragedy at Bataclan as It Happened To America First is
crass. We know what you meant, but the american branding of crisis
isn't applicable, particularly in re: Europe, which has suffered
zealotry far harder than americans have any emotional metric for. I'm
sure a couple of Londoners thought 7-7 but even a Hackney crackhead
has more class than to say Ich Bin Ein Berliner about this madness.
Sept 11th is a measure for naval gazing, not catastrophe.
