Tsunami

The scale of this disaster continues to beggar belief. It seems that the death toll will top 100,000 when the effects of disease are included but worse still will be the economic effects on some of the poorest areas of the world. The tourist and fishing industries have been devastated and are unlikely to recover for many years.

Will we put the same effort and resource into tackling this as we did into the "war on terror"? Somehow I doubt it.
