YES, this hit us all very hard here in the US, but I also think it's a valid point that many of us would be equally outraged if this happened someplace else. We are not all alike, and I don't for one minute think I'm speaking for everyone, but I know that I do speak for many. Tragedies of this magnitude are horrendous ANYWHERE.

Dear Cloudy, unfortunately not everyone shares your compassion for other human beings, whether foreign or domestic.
I am very well aware that many americans are exceptions to the general rule I have described (Thank God for that!) .
