What the hell is it about 9/11 victims which makes them any better than victims of any other tragedy? They've had nine years and have pretty much all received pretty serious cash settlements which victims of other tragedies didn't get. I don't really understand this unthinking, unquestioning reverence towards these people.

We had the bombing in OKC in 1995. In 2004, victims of that tragedy still have their annual memorial ceremony--some dignitaries give speeches, Clinton makes an occasional appearance, someone semi-famous sings Amazing Grace, the end.

These 9/11 victims apparently believe certain religious groups should but $100MM+ projects on hold (or cancel them altogether) because to go on would not be 'compassionate.' For the lack of a better word, bullshit.
