Jesus, cant people on BOTH sides just stop point scoring and try and just help, or not if they dont want to or they cant, but just be glad for everything we can do, and try to do as much as we can? The comments of some low level civil servant are not evidence of a great UN conspiracy against America, and we should understand that America has and is giving more than any other nation, because in the world at the moment they are the most powerful nation. Do we need to scroll through atrocity photo's to find a picture of Sri Lankan wearing a Bin Laden shirt? What is the intention? What is the purpose of this?

At the risk of repeating myself, a stagering amount of lives have been destroyed in a few minutes of disaster, this is the worst disaster of many of our lifetimes, the loss of life is incredible, and is growing at a terrifying rate, and we as people and nations can help and gave save lives

My wish is that all of us who do care and do want to help, could guide ourselves to doing what we can, giving what we can, being activists in our own community to drum up as much as help as we can do.... to at such a moment still to see this is a place to be attacking other nations for not doing as much as you are doing is just wrong, this is not the time.

Please, just do what you can, and focus your energies on your own community, because each of us holds in our power the ability to save lives.

And you can call me a name for not doing enough, for not tightening my belt more to give more...

And you can call me a name for only giving to charity when there is a great disaster, when people need help all the time

If everyone just gave something, a few bucks, whatever figure they wouldnt even miss... it WOULD make a difference, it would save countless lives... and everyone must make their own choice, and everyone should judge only themselves.
