>>I think most people (who know) do care but the two events are not comparable in their nature. The one was a catastrophic event broadcast around the world in real time. The other is a toll spread over many years in a war zone. The one was completely unexpected. The other one is expected in war to one degree or another. Both are awful and the consequences will be with us all for a long time.

>Don't try deceive of you Jos. Are you want a sample? Remember tsunami. It was unexpected. A lot of people died in there. But I remembered tourist from west resting at beaches after that disaster. I remembered a photo, corpses behind of the beaches next to the tourists...
Millions of people donated time and money towards the tsunami relief.
Should we declare war on mother nature?
Metin, you can't always trust photos yousee on the internet. They can be fake. Why would a tourist want to be next to a dead corps on the beach?
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.

No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
