And That's the News...

"JAKARTA, Indonesia -- Westerners are under fresh threats of terrorist attacks in Indonesia according to the British Foreign Office, wire services report."

What the hell is wrong with these people? Their fellow countrymen have just suffered a huge tragedy because of the tsunami, which left death and destruction everywhere. They should be focusing on that and helping their people. AND, the entire international community, including all of us evil, dirty Westerners, have sent money and aid to help the victims out and what do we get in return from Indonesia???? Renewed terrorist attacks! I know that these terrorists do not represent an entire population, but sometimes I wonder why we even bother to help others. God knows we Westerners have done a lot of screwed up things, but right now in Indonesia we are trying to help, so why are they punishing us? Even from a logical point of view it doesn't make sense. You don't bite the hand that feeds you! We're giving them something they desperately need right now (money and aid), so they should take advantage of that.

AND, I know we're one of the richest countries in the world, BUT wouldn't it have been nice if the other countries of the world had at least sent their regards about the tragic mudslides in California? I'm not asking for money or supplies or any of that....how bout just a..

"We'd like to send our sympathies to you on your most recent tragedy."

I'm the first to stand up for the little guy and point out American audacity and greed, but we really don't deserve it this time.
