Hold on a sec there folks. All he has done is say there were also 50 deaths in the UK on the roads. He's not condoning the bombing or anything so I think calling him sick and suggesting treatment is a little harsh. I imagine it was just meant as a leveller for many people to put what happened into perspective.
For instance you statement "if it was your son, daughter family torn to bits, you might not have been so quick with your sick remarks" could easily be turned around to "if it was your son, daughter family hit by a car, you might be annoyed at all the media attention on the bombings"

By the way before I get shouted at I don't agree with this point of view but don't think Mark deserves such abuse for making it. I think saying what you think is wrong with it is a better idea such as earlier in the thread when Re-Mark noted that the difference is that the road deaths were accidents whereas the bombings was just mass murder.
