I've been waiting to write something about the Tsunami. Words are often meaningless in such tragedies. Actions are the only comfort.
For once my admiration goes to John Howard and the Liberal government for their ability to comprehend the enormity of the situation and commit to a pledge of at least $1 billion for Indonesia. Finally Australia is showing signs of growing into a mature and responsible nation.
The death toll is sure to exceed 200,000 when the count is finalised with many more (probably running into the millions) who are seriously injured, homeless, grieving loved ones, or affected by hunger, thirst and disease.
Peace to those taken by nature's chaos, and peace to those left behind to rebuild their lives.
