Tsunami kills 50,000
US kills 100,000

We are still winning. Freedom is on the March.

4. just curious
why is it wrong? Over 100,000 innocent civilians have been killed in Iraq and we simply do not see the images of those people on TV. Why is that?

5. I disagree.
It made me realize that while the press pays attention to one massive tragedy that to a large degree couldn't be helped, it virtually ignores a man-made one that is twice the magnitude.

2. Using the govt's euphemism, the tidal wave victims have been liberated
No wonder * doesn't act concerned, he just figured Nature has liberated all those souls!
