Damn! I did'nt think it would hit above 20,000!  Last time I checked it was about 25,000 killed in the flood, also thought it was only one or two countries hit. And we thought we had it bad in 911?! I don't know why exactly people worry more about politics than natural disasters. |

| WASHINGTON (AP) -- A suggestion by a U.N. official that the world's richest nations were "stingy" irritated the Bush administration, especially when U.S. aid for Asia's earthquake is expected to eventually rise from the millions to more than $1 billion. What is the "World Bank" exactly? I've never heard of that before. |

| The reason 9/11 was such a big deal was not because of the raw casualty numbers, though those certainly helped. It was a big deal because it was the fourth-generation warfare equivalent of Pearl Harbor -- some foreign entity catching a powerful and normally secure country completely off guard and hitting it somewhere close without declaring war first (yes I know that bin Laden declared jihad against the US in '96, and no it doesn't matter; I'm talking about how the attack was percieved). Natural disasters are not that bad for developed countries because we know how to handle them; a huge earthquake in California would be bad, but not memorable on a nationwide level. But system perturbations like 9/11 reveal glaring problems that we simply were totally unprepared for, and that's why they shock more and are more memorable to us. Same with 3/11 for Spain, Bali for Australia, and Beslan for the Russians. Well, that and the whole regionalism thing. That part of it kinda sucks, but it's natural. |

| Isolationism = idiocy. It boggles my mind that anyone could actually consider that a workable policy. India is just shooting themselves in the foot, but the upshot is that it leaves more aid for the other countries. India is probably the best equipped to handle it anyway out of all of them. Still doesn't make any sense to me though. |
