their wouldnt be as many dead if it happened in the U.S. because
their was almost no way to warn those in danger of the tsunami's in Asia
the earthquakes werent the main cause of the fatalities, it was the tsunamis. some were as fast as 500 mph.
there would be fatalities in the U.S. but not close to the 55,000 now reported fatalities

It seems like its going to get worse. With all the dead, there is almost certainly going to be disease spreading.
Also, there are some pretty big aftershocks.

their were civil wars in two of the countries hit hardest... one war was put aside so each side could help each other... the other war has not died down. they blame eachother for not reacting quick enough

I think we as the United States should send help, we are so quik to police the world, we should help the same way.
Get that friggen Bush guy on the phone..I got an idea.

imo, i dont think we have done enough... the U.S. usually doesnt help the rest of the world that much anyways, so its no surprise. Out of the world's richest countries the u.s. is last in donating: at 0.14 percent donated of its gross national income.
oh well, i just hope this time the u.s. can counter their "stingyness" and be their to help the casualties from rising
