    Why don’t you talk much about SriLanka when Tsunami has damaged almost one third of the country by killing more than 30,000 thousand and millions of people are still missing?

    Altough the truth is Indunisian Death toll is 94,000 to date the damage to the country systems are not as much as to Sri Lanka; please take care of the same in future articles.

    I think we should not be comparing who is worse hit – Sri Lanka or Indonesia. It is bad enough that thousands have died and many more are missing. We should be concentrating on trying to help the survivors. And for your information, worse is feared in Indonesia as many areas are still inaccessible with whole villages wiped out. Nobody knows what the final death toll could be.

    I think that the happenings in asia and africa are the result of bad karma because of all of the wrongful and unholy practices that have been taking place in those countries, such as child prostitution, harboring terrorists. The only question is, why are the ones whom which are missing and dead,the poor families and fishermen who are simply trying to survive in such war ridden countries? I guess only God knows the answer to that question.

    Those who feel that the tsunami disaster in the region of and around Indonesia is the wrath of God punishing non-Christians need to get their heads checked. It dumbfounds me that such close-minded racists think they can stand behind the shield of religion and not be accountable. Have most forgotten that being “godly” is to have compassion and set aside differences in times of great hardship? This thinking is likened, in my mind, to thinking the earth is still flat. We claim that man has progressed over centuries when there are still so many that think there is an angry blue eyed, blonde haired master exerting will. Wake up people. Your religion of Christianity originated in a place that you deem beneath you. Until all sides wake up and understand that our quality of life would be so much better for all of us if we each simply looked at the positive aspects of difference instead of the supposed negativity. The thinking we have in this country is no different than the origins of the synthesis of thought in the minds of terrorists. The moment people think they are better than those that are different than them is the moment that suffering and hatred begin! There have been over 60,000 religions since the beginning of written record. How many of those people do you think thought that only there way was the right path? The truth should be self-evident or it is nothing but smoke and mirrors behind a veil of hypocrosy!People like you make me sick VICTORIA!
