Sorry I haven't posted sooner but I haven't been around much lately. At least in Dallas, the tragedy did get a lot of coverage. Americans, as a generic whole, do not understand any rational of terrorist activity. When it occurs the reaction is horror at the event, sympathy for the victims, and a hatred of the terrorists and whatever their cause happens to be. That this is the one year anniversary has not been covered. Crassly, that is because it is "yesterday's news" and the media has moved on. Unless there is an overriding local impact to the event, then insular American media won't remember or cover the event. That doesn't mean that Americans dont care or share the pain of the victims. It is more a reflection of our news service than the compassion that is really present in the average person.
