i dont reckon there is a comparrison between 9/11 and this disaster. i know 9/11 was fucked up and im really sorry it happened but the US government has billions and billions of dollars, these asian countries have absolutely nothing. and the death toll is over 100,000 allready and still expected to rise dramatically. massive areas are just completely destroyed, with hundreds of dead bodies being washed up on beaches etc. we need to help these guys out. i went to Krabi and Ko Phi Phi in Thailand not too long ago and the place is absolutely beautiful, a true postcard image of a tropical paradise but its suffered from nature.
as these people have lost prob nearly ALL of their friends and family, and ALL their money and possesions we should help them all as much as we can. just my 2cents but i reckon its a fair point
