Tsunami Aid?

Ok guys, what is the best way to contribute to the aid effort? Any suggestions?
Also was quite interested in a news report. Seems that Powell set up a coalition with Austrailia, Japan, and a couple other countries to aid the Asians and Africans from this flood and wave damage, as was said earlier, but not going through the UN. Seems now that after a conversation with Annon, the UN wants to be a part of the US led coalition. And what was the purpose of the UN?

Red Cross is always a good bet in this type of situation. Again we see just how really petty and useless the UN is. Time for the US to get out of the UN.

Some of these aid items from the US are the only things these people will ever see from us..It can make a lasting impression on a mind that is bombarded with anti american rhetoric.
My only hesitation is with WHO do you give the aid too for distribution? Much of it will be stolen and never reach the people who really need it. That ticks me off and I have absolutely no idea how to prevent that.
Helping people no matter where they live in a time of crisis is a good thing even if you do not care for their political agendas.

You can tell the operator that you want your donation to go to the Tsunami Relief fund.

I just read a report on CNN that said they now think 400,000 people have died in this disaster.
I guess the politics can wait. These people need our help, and the Red Cross answers to no one, but the people who need help. Dig deep guys.

Dear Larry,
Thank you for your donation to the American Red Cross to the International Disaster Relief Fund in response to the Southern Asia earthquake and tsunami disaster. Your donation enables the Red Cross to provide immediate relief and long-term support through relief supplies, such as family size tents, blankets, and hygiene kits. The Red Cross is also sending personnel and financial assistance to those in need. The American Red Cross encourages you to learn more about these and other efforts by visiting http://www.RedCross.org.
Together, we can save a life.
American Red Cross

Heeding the advice of our pastor, we donated thru Catholic Relief Services; an agency with an existing overseas infrastructure that specializes in emergency help for the poor.

Be sure to earmark your donations to the Red Cross or you could end up supporting the Gitmo Terrorists.. The Red Cross has gone so Far Left I am sure there are better choices But that being said it is better than not giving.
