If anything, I'm urging for more help to go to them, not less; and that isn't a <em>political</em> stance, it's a <em>moral</em> one. I'd say the exact same thing no matter who was in office; Bush and his supporters shouldn't take it personally.

They are public figures and deserve being held accountable and being laughed at when they do stupid things. I just didn't feel comfortable trying to debate and justify who is going to send more money, why Bush or Annan didn't make a public comment any sooner etc... at the expense of these Tsunami victims, I felt it a cheap way to try and make my political points. Know what I mean? But I am always up for a good Clinton, Bush joke. Please send them if you have em'. What I mean is that Clinton, Annan, Bush, etc… will always have jokes after them.

Is it only bad to criticize one side? Hoby, just wondering if you apply the same criteria to your frequent Clinton jokes, or Kofi Annan put downs, etc.? Is it only bad to criticize one side?

I have to say hats off to you for your comment. You have a new found respect from me. If only everyone thought the same and did not try to further their political agenda at someone elses expense. As of this moment, I am with Dave Z. and will further refrain from any more discussion on this event. May God be with these people. Dude, Dave, you have just humbled the crap out of me.

As I mentioned on the bridge blog. My oldest son visited Indonesia and spent some time on the Island of Nias. We think it is just north of the quake center and in the window of the Tusnami. He loved the Indonesian people and they were mostly kind. They were super friendly and generous towards him. He lived with one family for a month, rented a side house but ate with them everyday. They couldn't speak english he can't speak Indo. He went back a year later without calling ( no phones ) and when he showed up they all came out hugging him saying his name. Hopefully they survived. How sad it all is. I am personally not engaging in discussions or listening to the news or going to listen " messages , sermons, should lists" from humans that have an agenda using this tragedy. Only God. He will direct me to some action. My second and last post on this subject - it’s too holy and people died for me to talk about what “people , the government etc ” should do or feel.
