We're still talking about different things. You're talking about the way you *dealed* with being humiliated, but that did not have an effect at the moment when the humiliation happened. If you say that none of the Americans felt it humiliating having to watch tallest buildings of their country being demolished, then fine - although I would seriously doubt that. However, anyone holding a grudge to America sure as hell felt you were humiliated, and that was my original point.

Why don't we just say that 9/11 was US's darkest hour and 9/12 was its greatest?
