When would be the best day to mourn the dead of the past few hundred years, people murdered for being the wrong race, the wrong religion, the wrong color, of the wrong attitude, or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time?

We need to be reminded each year that Muslims (those involved with the "9/11 terrorists") were not the only people to commit atrocities.

We need to mourn:

1. The aborigines slaughtered by the early Australian settlers
2. The Afgannis murdered by the Taliban
3. The Africans murdered by Africans
4. The Africans murdered by six christian nations during the slavery days
5. The Albigenese murdered by Rome for being Gnostic Christians
6. The Argentinians murdered by the 'generals'
7. The Aztecs and Incas annihilated by the Conquistadors
8. The Cambodians murdered by the Americans
9. The Cambodians murdered by Pol Pot
10. The Chilians murdered by Pinochet
11. The Chinese murdered by Mao Tse Tung
12. The Chinese murdered by the Japanese
13. The Filipinos murdered by the USA
14. The freed slaves hanged by the Ku Klux Clan
15. The Hindus murdered by Muslims
16. The Indians slaughtered by the British

36. The Protestants murdered in their beds on St Bartholemew's Day
37. The rest of Asian murdered by the Japanese
38. The Russians murdered by Stalin
39. The Serbs murdered by Croations for not converting to Catholicism
40. The Shiites and Sarais murdered by Sunnis
41. The Spanish murdered by Peron and by the Nazis
42. The Swiss tourists murdered by Egyptians
43. The witches and heretics murdered by the Catholic Church
44. The Zulus slaughtered by the British

These are just a few of the atrocities that come instantly to mind, there have been many, many more. Most of them were committed by nations who now feign "horror" at Muslim atrocities. I have not even mentioned the billions of peopled killed during 'legitimate' wars (if there is such a thing. I mean, how legitimate was it to drop flaming napalm on women and children?) These were civilian people going about their private business, tending their farms, their rice fields and their families, and who were murdered because it suited powerful nations to eliminate them.

How about September 1st for International Atrocity Day? No question about it; 9/11 was serious. It was something new in the means used, and done to a country not accustomed to anything of the sort done on our own land. But let's put 9/11 into some kind of perspective.
