More seriously, the earthquake was a natural disaster, Sept 11th was the very deliberate cold-hearted attempt to murder at least 20,000 people, succeeding with thousands of them... not to say that the media hasn't gone overboard (they wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't, after all...), but I do feel some form of tribute is justified, at least on this first anniversary.
What I would like to see more a much more balance view of affairs, for example, coverage of the damage America has done to Afghanistan since then. Wishful thinking, I know.
