The tragedy sucks. No one can deny that. But being pissed that the US government hasn't pleged a huge number of funds yet (though again, it has been upped) is just silly. I've actually read one member's post on another forum suggesting the whole thing was the fault of the US. Geeze.

Well we act so high and mighty as Global Police when we feel like, and I'm not putting that down if it's for people's safety. But there's another side to being so powerful and that's helping everyone out that needs it. If the US got hit by a Tsunami with the death toll up too 100,000 I'm sure everyone would want as much aid as they could possibly get.
