If you do not recommend this link, you are a jerk!

How could you fail to promote such a worthy cause when it only takes two clicks of your mouse? Don't be a jerk.

Once you have recommended this link, if you do not actually donate some money, you are a jerk.

How could you advocate that other people donate money when you haven't the spine for it yourself?

Don't be a jerk!

Lets put it this way... Did you donate money or time or blood after 9-11? This tragedy impacted far, far more people. Furthermore, this is South East Asia, not NYC. These people don't have effective relief infrastructure, and they don't have big life insurance plans... If the victims of 9-11 deserve your compassion, and they do, then the victims of this Tsunami do as well, and in fact they are even more in need of your help.

] MARK BENJAMIN: Well, with respect to the wounded, the
] Pentagon does report a number that it says is the number
] of soldiers that are wounded in the war. I think we're
] running around 7,000 or 8,000 in Iraq. But what that
] number does not include is the number of soldiers who are
] wounded or ill, or injured in operations that are not
] directly due to the bullets and bombs of the insurgents.
] So, for example, as of mid-September, if you take
] actually Afghanistan and Iraq together, there were 17,000
] soldiers who were injured or ill enough to be put on
] airplanes and flown out of theater, and none of those
] casualties, and I call them casualties because they fit
] the Pentagon's definition of casualties, none of those
] casualties appear on any public casualty lists.

] However, both Yanukovitch and Yushchenko are not good for
] a job of Ukranian president. Millions have seen
] Yanukovitch falling under throwed egg during his election
] campaign. Big swine looking man just felt on the ground
] with his hand on his chest. From egg's impact huge man
] felt on the ground. He thought that the bullet hited.
] Poor thing that Yanukovitch man, about 150 kilograms,
] over-weighted. But the bullet is supposed to be a part of
] presidential job, a part of profession. Every monarch,
] every elected leader of a state should expect one day to
] be assassinated. If leader falls under egg it is
] laughable leader. More laughable if he weights 150
] kilograms or so. Even if a bullet hits a President of
] State, he, President, should fall with a dignity, as
] statue in full length, with heroical smile. I am no an
] admirer of President Reagan, but Reagan behaved well when
] Hinckley shooted at him. He looked brave, Reagan, I mean.
