Aftermath: There's something wrong here.

Reading WorldChanging - one observer remarked that "America is expected to rush to the aid of others world wide when catastrophe hits.....The international community thus far seems to be eerily void of so much as a word of comfort during our suffering... It gives one pause."

Thoughts (but no answers):

Today's National Post says that gangs are terrorizing the rescue workers.

It also appears that the billions of dollars raised to help the tsunami victims is tied up in various beaurocacies - while many of the victims of that disaster have re-built on their own - without the funding.

So, if you can't trust that your money is going to get to the victims, and your human beings being sent to help are being raped and beaten, this gives one pause as well.
