Earthquake! Who will help?
A devastating earthquake hit Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan Saturday. Over 20,000 people are already reported dead in Pakistan. President Bush has already personally offered American assistance and money to help in the recovery from this horrible disaster. Before long, major web sites will be posting links on how we can donate in the relief effort and once again the American people will step up and make personal donations to the Red Cross and other relief agencies.
Other countries will give also, of course... And I congratulate them on their generosity. But, it will be the United States and the American people who lead the way. I haven't seen the statistics, but I'd be willing to bet that private citizens in America gave more of their own money to help after last December's tsunami than most (if not all) governments outside our own.
We don't do it out of guilt. We don't do for personal gain. We do it because we know that helping others in their time of need is the right thing to do.
