If people had sympathy for the dead and their loved ones,
they would not have made the circus they did.  There would
have been mourning, not celebration and the most urgent
and shameless exploitation of a disaster to further every
sort of political, business and personal agenda.  No, there
was very little sympathy.  So be it.
