I am amazed at how many people have died in the Tsunami. On 911 we experienced the death of several thousand people and it impacted the whole country. Of course, that was a deliberate attack and it took away our feelings of security. But what about those people that live in the countries that were hit by this Tsunami? I don't think it would be an overstatement to say that some of them probably are afraid to walk next to the ocean. It has taken away their security as well.
I was pleased to see that the US has decided to give 350 million to help the recovery efforts. As the only "superpower" as they say I think that it gives us the responsibility to lead in supporting not only this clean up effort but also to lead in helping the people of the two thirds world to have safety and development.
