The sentence: "Were they all given US citizenship per September 10th after the attack? I always hear about "3,000 Americans were killed" but nothing about the non-US citizens who died." was sarcastic. Or did you truly did not know whether or not whether those non-American citizens were made American citizens on September 10th. I find it difficult to believe you are that naive. This was undeniably a sarcastic comment by you and an attempt to trivialize my point.
