^^ I don't think any of the above posters are making a comparison to other events that claimed innocent lives, I know I'm not - simply offering memories and sympathies for those effected by the event rather than passing judgement. Humans are a violent race much of the time, and events like this show it up.
The fact is, 9/11 is awful because it happened 'in our own backyard' s to speak; There has never been another terrorist event like this on US soil - taken in context, the planes hitting the World Trade Center towers is pretty bad. And by remembering the event doesn't make less of or condone other events experienced in other countries or area.
And I think it does well to remember people who have died - granted, there again, some people can be extreme - but within reason it's good to pause and reflect.
For some reason this made me think of the lyrics: "The only pain is to feel nothing at all."
And no offense meant by that... the last thing I want here is flaming.
