Samaritan's Purse (Franklin Graham) received my donation. I just didn't trust any others.

I had simular predictions on our state board. Soon our fine troops will be targeted..Perhaps even snatched.
Perhaps the UN blue helmets will arrive and the terrorist can improve the sniper skills on them.


Your thoughts my friend?

"On second thought, more we send them, more
they will fight over it."

But why can't they just fight over nothing?

On thirdiary thought, maybe they should fight over themselves. I'm thinking of cannibalism here.

Hate to say it but this is why I would never donate money to help out the Tsunami victims.

Agreed. Once I found out the filthy and corrupt UN was taking over handling the relief efforts, the first thing that came to mind was, "Oh my God! That means we're throwing all that money into an unaccountable black hole. It will line the pockets of Kofi's Boys instead of going to the people who need the aid!"

A pox on the UN - GET THE US OUT OF THE UN, AND GET THE UN OUT OF THE US!

It's sickening to think about how much of the $350 million we sent will end up in the hands of terrorist.Sometimes I think president Bush lets the criticism from the leftist media influence his policy in the wrong direction.We should have sent food and medicine but not one dollar of our money.The generosity of the American people will buy very few friends in this area of the world.

Aceh is a bastion of militant, unbridled Islamism.

Believe me, I carry no brief for the blood-tinged Indonesian military, but they're not the bad guys in this scenario.

I know this may sound very callous, but in some ways, locus in quo this tsunami hit most violently turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

No one will grieve for the Achanese, except for a few Chomsky drones mulling around Harvard Square and some psychotic Qaeda members hiding out in the NWFP.

Gosh, I'm not sure about that. Even the coyotes around here are more civilized than that. Maybe "cockroaches" would suffice?

"but in some ways, locus in quo this tsunami hit most violently turned out to be a blessing in disguise"

9-11 opened eyes to the islaminazi threat and the Tsunami confirmed it...check how much cash the islamic countries have donated...Qatar ponied up $25 mill and is at the top of the list.

But what makes the food non-halal?

What kind of food do relief worker ditribute anyway?

I think the Christian groups should go all out in trying to convert some of these Muslims into Christians

You realize of course, don't you, that what you suggest is against the law in Aceh?
