Watch out, here goes the tax dollars. I feel for the people who are affected, but this is their way of life. It is known that this kind of tragedy lurks in their future due to the nature of where they choose to live. We, the US, will now dump millions of $'s there to rebuild and give medical aid, while we refuse to help our own elderly and infirm.

Again, I strongly feel for these people, but if I see one US$ go over there, then I've had it. Let their own govt take care of things.
