It's a little disturbing how insensitive we are, including myself, to killing that many innocent people.

Then we somehow group 9/11 in a different ballpark. I definitely have much more intense feelings over 9/11 because it hit close to home, I'm sure the Japanese felt the same way 70 years ago.

We were at war with Japan.

We group it in the exact same ballpark as Pearl Harbor, not the atomic bombings. Had you been alive then, you'd feel the same way.

9/11 was akin to Pearl Harbor rather than Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
