OT: A man-made tsunami |
A man-made tsunami

Why are there no fundraisers for the Iraqi dead?

I am bewildered by the world reaction to the tsunami tragedy. Why are
newspapers, television and politicians making such a fuss? Why has the
British public forked out more than =A3100m to help the survivors, and
why is Tony Blair now promising "hundreds of millions of pounds"? Why
has Australia pledged =A3435m and Germany =A3360m? And why has Mr Bush
pledged =A3187m?

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-
