Your comment is disgraceful.

Australia has a population under 18 million. Therefore, in proportion to population, their loss of 200 is comparable to our loss of just under 3,000.

You are obviously ignorant of the history of Australia, particularly their brave showing in WWII.

Take a long hike across the outback without water, loser.

The CIA World Factbook lists a population of 19,546,792 for Australia.

considering the "hate America" crap the Aussies give us, I was not impressed with the story when I misinterpreted the intent of "our own Sept. 11" at first. I thought it was some American jab about how America is not paying attention or something. I did not take into account population; I obviously erred in my statement.
