    "The uncle of slain Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev has arrived in Massachusetts to arrange for his nephew's burial, while the funeral director struggled to find a cemetery in the state willing to take the body."

    Thus demonstrating OUR moral superiority over theirs?

    Compare our attitude to say, the Muslim Turks when we joined an invasion for of their country back in WW1

    "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours... you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."

    Now, yes, I understand the huge difference in the context but that's the not the point. The point is that they were willing to rise above pettiness to embrace their fallen enemies and the yanks aren't...out of spite.
