My point is that there seems to be expectations for us to have a silence for a tragedy in America yet nothing of the sort for another country.
Actually, there are yearly silences for the people who died in the tsunami, and given that Americans were among the dead I'd imagine there's a fair amount of their countrymen who observe it. It was certainly well observed in churches and sporting events in this country last year, if I recall correctly.
