I permanently lost every ounce of sympathy for any Muslim cause on 9/11.
I couldn't possibly care any less about the Uighurs and their political aspirations.
I could care less about Muslims as well but the presence of the Uighurs in the western frontier of China gives that nation an edge of instability. Anything that weakens China internally benefits our nation.
Heartless? If my chest were a cannon i would shoot my heart at them (paraphrasing Melville).
The calendar in my head is stuck on 9/12/01.
