Forgive? NO! Forget? NO!
What makes Noir's attitude all the more appalling is that he should be no stranger to understanding the effect terrorist attacks has on the community which suffers them.

Northern Ireland is where Noir is from. It's a country that had sustained terrorism from the IRA.

More recently, we in London had our '7/7' attack. Of course, that cannot be compared to the disgusting scope and nature of 9/11 ... however, 7/7 was nonetheless a terrorist incident, with people killed, maimed, and all the agony and trauma associated with a terrorist attack was there.

My point is that Noir should know better than to hold the perspective that he does. Would Noir respond well to an American telling British people that it was better if emotion involved with 7/7 was 'forgotten', that said American preferred to converse about it so long as it was done minus emotion ??

Disgusting. Be it over 7/7, be it over 9/11 ... disgusting.

Noir, you REALLY need to rethink your attitude ... and for that matter, any element of judgementality you're applying.
