I Took This Guy's Advice

Hmmm...good advice. Here's what I found out:

The death toll from the earthquake/tsunami currently stands at around 1,000 and climbing.

The death toll for the Pearl Harbor attack was "2,350, including 68 civilians, and 1,178 injured."

The death toll for the Hiroshima atomic bomb is estimated at 90,000 to 166,000.

The death toll for the Nagasaki atomic bomb is estimated at 60,000 to 80,000.

In the seven months leading up to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs, the U.S. firebombed 67 Japanese cities, resulting in "as many as 500,000 Japanese deaths and some 5 million more made homeless."

Somehow, this has not made me "feel better about this."
