I am in the camp of those that think the number of 'silences' is becoming excessive. What criteria have to be fulfilled before an incident is 'worthy' of a silence? How many people have to die 10, 50, 100, 1000, 5000? People are being killed on a daily basis in Iraq and it seems to be almost a daily event for UN troops in Afghanistan.
Every life is valuable and every death is tragic. Every death is devastating to a family somewhere. 11th November is used as a single date for remembrance of those who have died in wars so why is a seperate day required for each incident involving civilians?
I'm not suggesting that the deaths don't matter, simply that the 'silences' are getting out of hand.
