Tsunami appeal

I think you are right. There have been the daily devasted, which whom you are referring to, and I think because of all of this publicity no one is paying attention to them.
There are a lot of people who do there part to help the Ethiopians but somehow, this Tsunami thing has become a philanthropic trend. I think it's great that people want to help out but that does not change the fact that others have been suffering all along.

I'm interested in your thoughts

I dont know how true this is but the last total Id heard was 2.2 billion had been raised worldwide for the Tsunami disaster.

Im completely praise those who have given but it makes me wonder why that cant be done for the other 'disasters' in the world.

Don't know, but I'm sure it isn't the same pie being split different ways.

What I would like to know is what members consider charitable. Let's start with the government take-over of Iraq and Afganastan.

Is this a worthy cause, of need?

To answer your two questions: yes, and yes.
