I don't think uh-oh is saying he cares less about the individuals because of where the attacks occurred, it's more about the fear as it relates to the proximity. It's about risk, not empathy. If Japan is attacked I feel for those citizens who are caught in the crossfire just as much as I would if it happened in America, but I wouldn't feel it posed as much of an immediate danger to me personally. It's also somewhat about desensitization.
