America's "9/11? Meh" moment

It's rather telling that after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the international community responded with an outpouring of support and concern...

...yet after Monday's earthquake in China that's (so far) killed 15,000 and left hundreds of thousands homeless, the response of most American citizens is a collective "whatever."

Or, in other terms:

+ + + + + =

(And when you add in the 34,000+ dead from last week's Myanmar cyclone... we're gonna need more towers)
