I hope everyone is aware of the horrible tidal wave that resulted from the earthquake Christmas day. It really is terrible, so many thousands of people are dead; 1/3 of the people killed were children. Right now, America is really pissing me off, or at least Bush is. America has only sent 35 million dollars to help the people who are homeless and without food or water in the areas struck by the wave. Sure, I'm an American, and I like living here, but the phrase, "My country, right or wrong" is the most retarted saying I've ever heard. I think human life comes before nationalism, and the right thing comes before my country. I say this because a lot of anal, closeminded fellow Americans would probably be pissed at me for saying anything against America, but I really can't take it. How is it that we can spend billions on a war that was all in their heads, but can only spare a few million for people who desperately need help? And no, the "we've done a lot to help in the world before" doesn't cut it, because there are people suffering, and as the most powerful nation or whatever, we have a responsibility to help those in need. By that I do not mean we should force democracy and our western culture on other nations, deciding their own culture isn't good enough so they need to be like us. Anyway, we spent more money for our hurricane damage in Florida, where not many died, there was some damage, but most people just lost power and had minimal damage (I know, I was here for the hurricanes), than we are spending for the several countries whose people, homes, and lives were washed away, thousands dead, people starving and without clean water, bodies laying around everywhere. They even had shortages on body bags.
I just ask that you would think about these people, keep them in your thoughts and prayers, maybe try to help somehow.
