Side-by-side headlines today:
Katrina Aftermath
700 Iraqis Trampled to Death in a Stampede Caused By Some Freak Yelling "Suicide Bomber"
It all feels so terrible, and the second headline in particular is such a sad and senseless tragedy. Seldom do I find the front page so depressing and overwhelming, even though I read about similar events all the time. I wonder if it's just American disaster that raises my radar to make me feel so deeply the tragedies abroad?
