I think it's great.

Yet, I feel too much emphasis is beeing put on this disaster. People all over the world, especially in Africa are die each day from more preventable causes.

I think it's time we take a step back and look at what has to be done. This disaster was a once in a lifetime event. 250,000 people died... yet yearly, it is reported that 700,000 children around the world die of starvation alone. That is not even counting the millions dying of aids.
