A Thought for Afar

I have several dear friends from Sri Lanka, and was so glad to learn yesterday that none of their family or friends died in the Easter Day terrorist killings, half of which took place in churches. But they say that friends of theirs lost relatives -- one family lost three people.

The 253 deaths is heartbreaking -- even more so when we look at it not from the perspective of U.S. population but the 21 million who live there. It's the equivalent of 3,800 people in the U.S. dying in an attack. ​
