Tsunami

[Mined]

How did you people feel about the Tsunami disaster, i thought i was tragic but i also thought that the American Government and the American aid were pretty slow to react. Can you imagine if this had happened to America, they would expect the whole world to come over and help. But when Sri Lanka and around there got hit, the Americans were very slow. What do you people think about this.
Also did you do anything for the Disaster i know my School did and we are still doing it now, just my form have raised about £100 for the Appeal.
What have you done?

Actually, America as well as many other countries were quick to respond. And no, America would not have expected the whole world to aid them if it happened to them. America can afford to help themselves. I think parts of florida experienced extreme weather conditions too. Many houses wrecked. People evacuated. I didn't see them asking for international help?

Lol, I think the USA has given 10's of millions! I don;t know a precise amount, but it is a LOT! If Canada has given over 80 Million now, USA surely has given more!

England has raised £200, 000, 000!

America is shameful but we all know most of them don't care unless it effects them badly. When the terrorist thing happened they were basically crying.

I don't see how you can compare this to the world trade centre attacks, they were deliberate and this was a natural disaster. I think if something had happened to any country they would be pretty worked up about it.

I thought it was trajic too. And that so many people have died its just so cruel. And some people make fun of it! How mean ! I mean whats the point? What if you were there and you got squashed by a huge wave? I mean how would you feel ? And i Think it was horrible how the news reporters are all trying to get the "best" story on the Tsunami .

Totally argree, however if theres one thing America can be blamed for it's when tornados ripped through california or one of the states washington pledge 8.2 BILLION however for this they have currently only pledge about 2.4 when the disaster and wide spread destruction is twice as much... I know it's their own state but still....
