Unfortunately I've learned that the government of Indonesia is playing games with the relief money, much like North Korea and Iraq did, and very little of the relief money is getting to the people who need it. On the front page it states "This book supports asian disaster relief". Beyond the politics, I bought this magazine as a historical document. Generations from now I can tell the younger generation "I survived the Tsunami and all I got was this lousy magazine". Instead of sending monies over to these countries, The United States should have offered relief effort in terms of building a better infrastructure for the affected countries. It's a win-win situation. Out of work Americans could work, like they did Kuwait, tax free and the people who are suffering due to this horrific event, would get the relief they need. No more cash. It only gets abused.
