Exactly what I was going to say. What's with all the really stupid, ignorant parenthetical headline additions I'm seeing lately? Both are tragedies, but Japan bore one far more massive in every possible way -- scale, physical damage, financial impact, human loss and suffering, and very serious ongoing danger.
And you miss the point s well - restating it >>> Americans, like the Japanese, will pull together in times of crisis and help each other out and not just wait for a handout as was portrayed during the tsunami news coverage.
Don’t believe all the liberal hype you hear about the Ugly Americans - much of it is just left-wing pigressive fantasy.
