It should be a huge deal when any civilian lives are lost, and there are millions more, than 3000, or 4 americans. An Iraqi father is worth no less or more than an American mother, yet when he's killed it means nothing to people.

Ah, I get it. Naturally I assume you've searched the entire Subsim Forums archive to verify that no one here has ever expressed sadness or regret or been concerned over any other tragic incident such as the ones you've mentioned. And of course being a gifted telepath you know automatically that no one here gives, or has ever given, two-tenths of a [expletive deleted] about anything other than the US and what happens to its citizens.
Because otherwise, your "point" is pointless. People are allowed to express sadness over one incident without that action implying a lack of concern or sadness over another. Behaving like this is not the case as a means of getting all up their faces with some kind of "OMG YOU SHOULD CARE MORE ABOUT THIS INSTEAD" socio-political agenda is not the best way to win friends and influence people.
