300 million dead

I liked this blog entry, found on digg. It talks about how the 300 million american people have all died on the inside.
"4000 dead American soldiers, that is; it's almost as if the two orders of magnitude greater number of slaughtered Iraqis, the millions of refugees, the destruction of an entire country, simply don't matter and don't count. Americans find it hard to gather outrage over thousands of our own dead, and tens of thousands wounded, and they sure as hell aren't going to get stirred up over hundreds of thousands of dead foreigners."
someone else commented:
"A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic." -- Joseph Stalin
Also another interesting comment:
"And that's just the 4000 they officially count. If you're shot in Iraq, but die on the plane to the hospital in Germany, you are not counted as a casualty in Iraq. And DoD doesn't even count dead American contractors."

There is nothing worst than apathy.
