Adolf Eichmann (or it may have been Josef Goebbels) said something like;
"A hundred people die it's a disaster, a million people die it's a statistic"
I'm far more emotionally connected to the Aussie soldiers who have been killed in Afghanistan,to the Aussies who died in the Bali bombing,to those who died in the recent bushfires (the worst natural disaster in our history) than I am to any number of dead Arabs or Americans for that matter. --An emotional response, which I neither explain nor attempt to justify.
