After the death toll reaches over 155,000 people and devestation on a scale unheard of in modern history, during the last few days, we've seen an huge increase in International cooperation in helping Tsunami-Affected countries in the region. It warms my heart to know that our world has finally awaken to the face of humanity. At least let this tradegy be a huge wakeup call for all of us out there.
On related news, USA pledges a ten-fold increase from $35 million to $350 million dollars of aid supplemented by a carrier force deployment to aid in the rescue operations a few days ago. The UN is playing a lead role in the humanitary effort which should help restore some credibility to the organization after a number of scandals. Sir Cliff Richard and Boy George leads a number of international pop stars writing a single to raise up funds to aid the Tsunami Aid effort.
The only sad note is that
some of the tourists decided that the tradegy means nothing to them and continues to enjoy their vacation in the midst of all the despair and anguish of people searching for their missing loved ones - which is despicable.
I guess that rounds this blog up. Both the beautiful and the ugly of this crisis.
