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.

Look, I commend you for apologizing and it's obvious you are making an attempt to apologize to each person who raised objections and for that I commend you as well. But I would still advise asking the moderator to remove your comments- otherwise you will have dozens of other Freepers responding to you as time goes on. It would be prudent, I believe.

If you think Aussies hate America,then i suggest you come here and see how well you get treated.Any 'hate America' crap here is perpetrated by the same bunch of leftists that also hate Australia.Regarding the comparisons of numbers,it doesnt even matter,i took Sept 11 as personally as im taking Bali.
