1. 'Remember 9/11! Why do you hate America?'
And who knows what's going on there now that Bush has gotten a topper to take the eyes away from Eye-raq for a bit.

2. Not a dumb question at all...
If we're going to be handing out no-bid contracts, I'd like to see them doing some GOOD for a change...

7. Afterthought...
hell, why don't we rebuild America? We are in a recession and there are plenty of works here that need our money and effort. Imagine a new WPA or somesuch.

8. bobweaver, all of the kind-hearted souls who have and will donate toward
the relief effort, in effect, will rebuild Asia. As long as we don't forget what has happened. Let the f#$%^&ing government finish what it started. We're already paying for it, anyway.
