It is easy to get lost in the numbers but we must remember that each of these people died a horrible individual death. Whether by jumping, by fire or by the grinding, crushing collapse of the building. Each incrimental death is horror magnified.
We would be justified in cutting a swath of death and destruction a hundred miles wide and a thousand miles long to get to the people who did this. Anything less is a tribute to our compassion, not an indication of our lack of resolve.
