It shows how lucky we are, to live in the western world and have access to decent healthcare and suchlike. If a tsunami hit Britain or America the people who'd survived would have access to well funded healthcare in France or other states. The victims of this disaster have no chance.

It shows us once again how unity would help the world. But because of Religion that's an impossibility...

I totally agree. We really are lucky to have such good healthcare and I've heard that the U.S. is even planning to come up with warning systems for something like this. I also heard that the activity from the tsunami was picked up all the way in L.A. on their Richtor scale. L.A. tried to warn Indonesia and all of the other countries around it, but they couldn't get ahold of "proper authorities". It's just so sad that an event so devastating as this one happened. I'm going to pray for the families of those that were lost in this tragic event.
