I even cried when Bonfire fell (12) and that wasn't terrorists.

you have that happening almost daily, and i'll guarantee you'll stop crying after a while. in belfast people are well known for a sick sence of humour, i.e we can laught at bombings/ tusnamis or whatever, because people had to 'deal' with death- and humour is one of those things.

i do belittle the attack, becaue it's about mentality...not the actual damage caused. i.e you get to a stage where the cops say theres a suspect device in the hotel your in...you just stay in the bar because you've gotten to the stage where 'scares' dont affect you anymore - unless you REALLY think its a bomb that time, then you high tail it!
