Today President Bush and Former Presidents Clinton and Bush have joined together to try and raise private money for the Tsunami Disaster.
I think that This is not such a good idea. Tossing large sums of cash into this particular region is a bad idea. The cash will be gobbled up by graft and greed and weapons to be used against non-muslims later. Better to send food, and water and aid workers. Cash is the one thing that should absolutely NOT be sent.
On top of that....who are we giving this aid to....will these people look kindly on us for aiding them? Sri Lanka has already shown itself. to be singularly unworthy of aid by rejecting Israel's offer. Granted it was the government and not the suffering people who did this...that government is supposedly representing the wishes of the people.
