I doubt the government can even handle 10% of that number. Its going to be another disaster.
But 2 Million people got displaced by the earthquakes and tsunamis and everybody has already forgotten about them. That's old news already.
In another year no one will remember these folks in Lebanon and there'll be something else in the news.
Sad but that's reality. Our minds are controlled by the media. What happened to all the hoopla over the Arab port deal? North Korea firing missles. LOL. See we're the mezmerized for the moment TV generation. Fucking pitiful.

I agree in general, but I also think there's another reason for it. I think we're interested in CURRENT affairs primarily, and continue to discuss these events as they occur. We remember the Arab port deal, we remember the North Korean missiles, and nuclear threads, we remember the Tsunami victims and the Iran earthquakes, etc..
There's really not a whole lot we can do about any of it, except debate or discuss current events.. and try to vote in our elections in the minute chance that our vote might sway things in our countries that cause a change for the better.
