Yes, and if someone you knew was killed in a shooting spree... you would be against playing Postal where you kill people for no apparent reason, or if you knew a person who was killed by a car running over them, you would be against playing GTA... right?

I like a good game with plenty of action and violence myself from time-to-time but in all the games I do play (and in the vast majority of games overall), whether fictional or historically based, I am role playing the strong Hero, the righteous defender or an aggressor of some type, never a powerless, helpless victim with little or no chance of survival. Huge gaping chasm of a difference.

More people die in gun violence in America than people died in Sept.11 yet I (and the majority of gamers around the world) play games that glorify killing innocent people with real weapons. That would be equivalent to be playing as the hijackers in the plane which would be even worse that this, and even though the games about killing innocent people are based on fiction, it has been derived from real life events... even if this MOD was released under the name of 'Get out of burning sky scrapers after planes struck them', it would have been equally (if not more) appaling in all of your eyes...
So I can't be hypocrite and talk against this game while turning a blind eye towards the others... thats just the way I see it... and I fear thats the way game critics like Senator Jack Wagner will see it...
I really do apologize if I'm trampling on all of your emotions, but I'm just being blunt over here.
