President Bush assembled a four-nation coalition to organize humanitarian relief for Asia and made clear Wednesday the United States will help bankroll long-term rebuilding in the region leveled by a massive earthquake and tsunamis.

Seems like the US has "bypassed" the respected UN once again....to everyone's horror

going to space staion .
My guess is they cant afford to help SE Asia.

Nuke,

Have you also looked at that what the invidual countries have done, outside of the UN?
Remember that the USA is part of the UN, why didn't they push it in there?
Oh yeah, you can act alone too and blame the UN instead.
Other countries might have acted on their own, but they are not blaming the UN for it.

They busy brewing badazz booze!!!

Keep it ETIHW???

NUKE, just fyi

Initial aid from germany has been raised to 20 million euro yesterday, that's about 27 million USD. The US contributed 35 million USD in an initial aid package.
These numbers change everyday though, and I can't be bothered right now to make sure they're up to date.

Granted, the US government contributed more, but please don't make it sound like the rest of the world is just standing by.
I'm not and my government isn't either, I just don't have a say in how many my government contributes.

I donated everything I was going to invest in fireworks this year.

edit: While Bush is forming some useless formal coalition, other already helping.

AP reported Wednesday that four relief planes arrived in Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo, bringing a surgical hospital from Finland, a water purification plant from Germany, doctors and medicine from Japan and aid workers from Britain.

I think that potencial leader and coordinator should be Spain

As of Wednesday evening, more than $250 million had been pledged from countries around the world. The biggest single contribution announced so far was $68 million from Spain.

I don't care where it comes from or how it gets there as long as the aid arrives for these devastated souls

to throw egos around on any side during this disaster is a sin

if we are not able to see each other as brothers now when would we be???

open ur hearts, ur minds, ur checkbooks and pray

close your ignorant thinking

[nuchpatrick]

Not to beat our own drum..but some people forget that Florida was knocked out by 4 hurricanes. The total repairs for will run into the billions.. People still do not have roofs or jobs that are no longer here... Theres no free money to help rebuild our state.. yet we'll be sending millions of dollars to help the effected areas Asia.  Perhaps you guys should dwell on that as well...
