I'm concerned about the Red Cross too. They've turned into harsh critics of the US in Iraq and Gitmo.

I understand that the International Red Cross are bad guys and the American Red Cross are good guys. I further understand that the ARC has a fund going for this disaster.

Thanks for the additional info on the Red Cross. Elizabeth Dole is not necessarily my favorite Republican, but she was a recent ARC chief, after all, which suggests they can't be too anti-American.

the www.amazon.com is the AMERICAN Red Cross.

The money goes to tsunami relief. It lis like buying a book.http://www.amazon.com

Or pick one you like at the USAID site. All the charities in the area are listed there. Often they work through local affiliates

All will be hopefully able to get help from our service people and their helicopters, etc.

I understand that the American Red Cross is a branch of the International Red Cross, and they are both anti-American. They solicit funds for causes that tear at your heart, then spend the money on anti-American causes instead. Give to the Salvation Army.
