Pledging money is vital, but it doesn't save lives immediately. Again, that's where the Americans shine. The first large-scale international relief to the victims was from a U.S. warship, the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln which sent relays of a dozen helicopters loaded with relief and medical supplies into the stricken area. Pay attention here, purist Libertarians. Responsiveness was an essential element.

My thoughts exactly. Pledging money is great, but somebody needs to get water and food to the starving.
