While I will grant regret at civilian deaths... anywhere, I will as the question : Do the Americans celebrate civilian death ?
IF you can give proof of such celebration, I would welcome seeing it.
In contrast we have

" In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate, may peace be upon the cheerful one and undaunted fighter, Prophet Muhammad, God's peace be upon him.
Nation of Islam and Arab nation: Rejoice for it is time to take revenge against the British Zionist Crusader government in retaliation for the massacres Britain is committing in Iraq and Afghanistan. The heroic mujahideen have carried out a blessed raid in London. Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters.
We have repeatedly warned the British Government and people. We have fulfilled our promise and carried out our blessed military raid in Britain after our mujahideen exerted strenuous efforts over a long period of time to ensure the success of the raid.
We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all the Crusader governments that they will be punished in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. He who warns is excused.
God says: "You who believe: If ye will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet firmly.

If you want to compare London to Iraq,let's take the comment on the killing of civilians a step further and look at the situation in Darfur and what happened in Rowanda. While what happend in London on July 7th was horrific, the magnitude of the event was many times smaller than what has gone on in Africa in recent times.
I think that many people in the western world miss the big picture - that people are slaughtered on a daily basis, yet only when it is some with whom you share some commonality/relationship, does it become an "international event" that requires our immediate attention.
The last time I looked, I did not see thousands of British refugees trying to flee systematic genocide.
Just a thought.....and yes I live in the western hemisphere........Canada to be exact!
Ran in to that same error message as well!
