No-one is advocating mourning for everyone one who dies in the world so your post is largely irrelevant. At times of great tradegy I think it is a sign of respect to have a minute's silence.

i just think its misguided. we seem to mourn what the media thinks is cool, just because its in the public eye. if there was brits involved to give eye-witness accounts and videotape the earthquake in iran we'd be silent for that too.
