That's the official death toll from the Tsunami disaster. That's more than the American dead in Vietnam only this happened in a matter of minutes. They expect that number to climb to 100,000. Crazy.
It's nice to see the world pulling together to help these nations out including the good 'ol USA, but I can't help but remember how these same nations, including the good ol' US of A didn't lift a finger to prevent the 600,000 people who were butchered in Rowanda a few years ago. I guess since they were killed by other people and not some giant wave of water, it doesn't constitute a "disaster".
Oh well... I guess it's not that important.
