Its interesting to me how many people look at the aid given in the tsunami disaster in any other way than exactly what should have happened. It's one thing to try to guilt trip Americans into dishing out for other disasters in the world. It is an entirely different thing to say, oh, now you care? My father was born in Sri Lanka and I recently visited there. One refugee camp nearly broke into a riot over such things as toothbrushes, underwear, etc. The same camp, had gone 4 days without any food delivered. This was 4 weeks after the tsunami hit. It may seem to everyone that perhaps there are other places equally deserving of such money, but I promise you every cent of these donations are going to be used. And in regards to Sri Lanka denying Israeli troops, they were there, seen them with my own eyes.
Come on fellas, politics shouldn't play any part in this discussion, but it does n thats a shame.
