Current tsunamis in Asia, What should be done? Options

[comeupon]

With the current death toll and fear of outbreaking epidemic what should be done by the countries affected, mainly India, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and the Maldives --less than a 100 reported deaths. At this point and time the rescue workers in some of the highly affected areas are not even stopping to identify or transport dead bodies but rather burning them on the spot. Many small islands have been burnt completely because of whole villages being killed off. Technically the affected countries cant close their borders yet because of the attempts by rescue personal to get some sick and injured people to safety. People however continually keep going to these ransacked places for vacations. Thailand and the Maldives being really the only 2 as they suffered the least amount of casualties. Some travel companies are refusing to return fares, mainly in Russia and some other parts of the former USSR. Should these travelers/tourists be let out of the country after they have arrived and spent a week there? If they are released from the country there could a spread of diseases like Cholera and Maleria, caused by the dead bodies laying on the beach for 3-4 days in temperatures of 90+ degrees. The bodies have become bloated and infected (pic). It probably would not become as big of a epidemic as the Black Plague, but a widespread of Cholera or Maleria could really hurt a lot of the big cities in Europe. Though if all travel in and out of these countries is brought to a halt the percentage of sick people could keep increasing and increasing. Just looking for some opinions on some international matters, and yes I know the picture is kind of gruesome but I feel the American media does a poor job covering this topic.

they say the animals can sense the earthquake from the vibrations.

anyways:

yes the US has to give more. it's either that or stop messing in everyone else's country and go back to thier own country.

and do you want to know something?
everyday we spend 161 MILLION DOLLARS in IRAQ.

in 3 days we've spent more in Iraq than we've given to all the countries hit by the tsunami.


in one month we will have spent 5 BILLION dollars in iraq.

in one month from the tsunami disaster (january 26) we will have given 350 MILLION for the tsunami relief.

although it is good that we are using our ships and helicopters to move supplies. that is an invauable aid.

anyways: the 350 million isa PLEDGE. we haven't given it yet. not yet. only a few million so far have been spent in the tsunami relief because all thos pledges are just PLEDGES.
