Yeah, but the US' was more horrible is sadder according to you. Why is it that people need to say, "we had it worse"? I find it sickening that anyone could belittle the UK at a time like this. After 9 11 everyone was a New Yorker, now it seems that nobody could care less about the UK. Brit Hume was more concerned about making money on the stock market, Rush said this was nothing to worry about, phelps wished more people had died, etc.
I guess Americans' true colors really come out when somebody's disaster isn't as disatrous as ours was. That is very sad.
