Yes, interesting indeed. One point that probably should be made is that we are, as the aricle states, in fact a wealthy country; well, at least about two thirds of us are. And guess what group a lot, maybe most, of the people who are suffering the most fall under? And when I say "suffering" I don't mean loss of profits, I mean their personal lives and wellfare. I see no diference between a tsunami sufferer and a hurricane victim if they both come from the same economic classification. Their lives are at the same state of frailty and they are just as deserving of the entire Worlds attention.
