Was 9/11/2012 worse than 9/11/2001?

Is anything worse then Benghazi? I think the holocaust was a misunderstanding in comparison. Its literally a billion times worse than Watergate.

    Not to make light of the losses of life in Benghazi, but only four lives were lost. In the holocaust, millions of lives were lost. You simply cannot dismiss that fact. A misunderstanding? How can you call the annihilation of millions of people based on "inferior genes" a misunderstanding? In 9/11/2001, thousands of lives were lost. Watergate is a whole different story, but speaking comeplety objectively, based on the sheer number of lives lost, the Benghazi event was not nearly as bad as the other events you mentioned.

    9/11/2001 was worst, not only did it kill almost 3 thousand people within the attack. It was also a attack against the world, it was and still is the main reason for the worlds finacial problems.

    If you think about it, Benghazi was a pin-pointed attack on a location, but the 9/11/01 is still killing people today (caused by mounting debts, homelessness and its destroied millions of peoples lifes)

    I don't believe the holocaust should be brought into account vs a terror attack, granted what happend should never of been aloud. That was done by the Nazi rageme at the time of a World War.

    If you go by body counts, the Holocaust was worse than 9/11/01, which was worse than Benghazi which was worse than the Marathon bombing. But, in terms of preventing these horrors, the public is still finding out what was known or should have been known before these events. Benghazi stands out as particularly bad because we knew in real time what was happening and made no effort to stop it.

    I'm sorry. I think the death of 4 Americans in Benghazi sad, tragic, and that it should not have happened, but i can not see that 4 deaths is worse than over 6 million deaths.

    to call the Holocaust a "misunderstanding in comparison" seems very demeaning.

    I'm pretty sure everyone that died during the Holocaust (and World War 2) and on 9/11/01 (and the War on Terror) just rolled over in their graves after this question.

    Benghazi was not worse than 9/11/01 or Watergate.

    9/11/2001 was far worse-three thousand innocent people were murdered in a terrorist attack and it started the U.S. down a dark path that is still being walked today.

    It depends - if you're a partisan republican, then obviously benghazi is the worst thing EVER! If you're a partisan democrat, then 9/11 and watergate were much worse.

    Of course not. It's not even as bad as 10/23/1983.

    Lame comparison. Bringing past events when discussing current events is an acceptance of defeat.

    I am sure you know why this argument cannot be used in the Benghazi hearings.
