Its not even close to the same thing, and you know it.
The numbers are in no way, shape, or form comparable.

Absolutely.
Poverty is relative.
In China, the people living on a dollar a day probably had 2 family members working 18-hour days for that dollar.
In America, a bum w/ a good stree corner can make a dollar every 10 minutes.
The two kinds of poverty are in no way comparable to each other...

Are those the same men that knew about Katrina three days in advance and still took four days to deliver water to New Orleans and yet still further, gave the authorization to have Blackwater agents running security detail for the "richer" New Orleans inhabitants?

I think you know damn well the reasons for a lot of people not getting the fuck out...

Uh, no?
I really can't think of any good one, unless you are crippled.
Is "I didn't have a car" really an acceptable reason to not flee a natural disaster?
If a wild-fire is bearing down on you in California, are you going to sit on your front porch and wait for a ride?

If al Queda managed to detonate a nuke inside the united states, I'd probably sign up to go into afghanistan/Pakistan and fuck some people up. It may sound like "we got what we deserved" to some people, but
a) Remember after Bush won last term that 49% of America still managed to have some common sense. Why kill millions of people who are against the war.
b) Killing millions of innocent people to combat a gov't out of control is cowardly and makes you even worse than what America has become. If you have a problem with America and want to kill some people, attack the military instead of blowing up a bunch of civilians and trying the "America made me do it" tactic.

Even if it was a very tiny nuke that didn't kill anyone?

That would be funny... decades of trying to get a nuke and a terrorist accidentally blows up their nuke while driving through no-where'sville in the Midwest

If only the terrorists would focus on a biological weapon like a virus. Then perhaps one day my dream of the elimination of 99.99% of the worlds population would be fulfilled. I'm one of the 00.01%, of course

That sounds similar to how Revalations goes.
