And please Hookers, you didn't know we knew about the Tsunami for ages? It was like 9/11...we just decided to let it happen after having known about it forever.

it was an international agency that knew about the tsunami, it wasn't strictly an American agency. And my bad, I thought Indonesia (it was afterall the first country to be hit) had the most casualties and damage, but that lack of knowledge has nothing to do with what f*cking country I am from. The tsunami itself was not known maybe about 30 minutes before the first wave hit, although seismic activity could have been tracked for years. Thailand was the one that played down the warnings, thinking it was a false alarm. If anything here, the Asian governments are more to blame because of their lack of preparation and warning systems around the Indian ocean. The asian governments did know of potential earthquakes in the Indian ocean for quite some time, but did not know when and where.

Its not about who got hit the worst (indonesia) its about how terrible it is that this happened. i went throught tree hurricans and the damage done here all to gether wasnt even half as bad as what they have over there. i my self am sick of hearing about people here not have electricity and damage to there home. Most people over there dont have ANYTHING. Furthermore the US it terribly selfish. GWB only whants for more countries like us. thats the only reason hes giving all that money to them.

That is still speculation, not proven fact. I have heard that oil drilling and US Navy "controlled'' underwater explosions are also possible causes. Underwater nuclear testing, which America and others have been doing for some time (although I do not think America has been doing so for several years) caused some landslides in that same region. The money issue- I'm not gonna comment.

That's crazy, you can't blame a country on a natural disaster, who do you mean when you say that?

*claps* I'm fairly sure that everywhere is raising money though. What a shame it is...United States aid trucks have removed large banners on the truck (which say US Aid) because they are afraid of attacks. And we are helping these people? Makes me think, but they need the help at this time, so I'm glad we are over there/donating money.

Donations from Britain are up to £80million.

Michael Schumacher the Formula 1 driver has donated £5million to the fund, Steven Spielberg has donated $1.5million and many ofthe footballers of the English Premier League have got together to all donate a weeks wages.

It's really great to see the massive levels of donations, from all over the world.
