Considering I go to a Catholic school, you'd think that, according to the supposed standards of morality and empathy and so forth, we should have one for August 6 and August 9, when we dropped Little Boy and Fat Man on the Japanese. Afterall, according to Catholic teaching, all humans are equal regardless of national affiliation. But then, my school is a cesspool of hypocrisy and staunch republicanism, so I'm not really all that surprised.
Do you have any clue as to what the Japanese were doing during that time frame or the fact we were at war with them? Tell that to a WW2 vet and see how they feel about your empathy about the Japanese. Again, this is a recent event, more civilians killed in 1 day in "our" nation's history. Like I said earlier, a much worse Islamic attack will come on a different day and then some of us can mourn while the rest of you moan about moral relativism.
