Agreed. How could someone write this when 120,000+ have died and millions are suffereing.
The problem with the practical aspects of this disaster is that time is of the essence. Charitable fundraising will be helpful but we have the ability to airlift supplies, water purification equipment and other assistance RIGHT NOW. It would seem inhuman not to help when Cholera is a threat to kill hundreds of thousands more while charitable funds are being raised.
This is an age-old argument about the function of government and the socialists have pretty much won the argument throughout the world. America has been a giveaway society since Franklin Roosevelt said the government has the responsibility to help the poor when they are suffering.
