Sri Lanka and India and Thailand didn't heed warnings from the US Tsunami centre at Honolulu (BTW, the US doesn't charge for such warnings) These nations were far more concerned with tourist dollars than common sense---and look at the price they paid

They really had no realistic way of implementing the warnings anyway.

Logistics may be difficult---but they did nothing.

Sitting on their hands (and their asses) certainly added to the death toll.

The idea is that they should have done what they could have--and they chose to do nothing.
