Not sure I understand your post. Suspect it was not directed at me but just a post in the thread.
Not sure if this has been posted or not, but I wanted to pick a few news items that show Americans *do* care, and that people are people no matter where they live on earth. We are brothers and sisters despite our governments and what the media reports sometimes.
Phoenix starts earthquake relief fund for sister city Chengdu
Phoenix Business Journal - by Mike Sunnucks
Chengdu, China — a sister city of Phoenix — is near the epicenter of the devastating 7.9-magnitude earthquake that left tens of thousands dead or missing. A school in Chengdu collapsed, killing hundreds of children.
The city of Phoenix has set up a relief fund to help the Chinese city. Donations are being accepted at Wells Fargo Bank branches.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. also said Wednesday it was donating $430,000 to earthquake relief and reconstruction efforts in China.
Getting relief and help to Myanmar cyclone victims is proving tougher, with the military regime there hesitant to allow foreign relief workers in the Asian country.
Several major U.S. businesses and foundations have donated to that cause, including FedEx Corp., United Parcel Service Co. and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
For more information on Phoenix’s assistance for Chinese earthquake victims, call 602-534-3751. Charities such as the Red Cross also are accepting donations for both relief efforts.
