tsunami disaster relief

Knowing where your aid goes one of the biggest problems when helping out countries. That is why I generally only donate to very structured organizations that I trust.

Recall in Africa (Somalia), aid was sent in the format of food but while much was sent, very little got past the Warlords to the people.

I'm hoping that this is very much a different situation.

Also, perhaps the outpouring of support to many of these muslim countries will demonstrate to those that can still be influenced in the Arab world, that the US is not as they perceive.

Generally I try to stay away from posting these but when I do, I also want to put down the tone in which the note should be read. In the above, the tone was certainly supposed to be quiet humble. I'm glad that you got that without me mentioning it.
