altruism is as dead as alchemy
If there was ever a time where politicians, celebrities and all the other scum of the planet demonstrated the ability to flip side someone else's misfortune into a personal high profile halo harvesting, kudos gathering mission. Instant karma may have taken out some Hindu's down South, but now their are league tables for country donations, fighting over interest relief, published celebrity donations all fighting for the scraps of karma left from the misery of others.
The US has a perfect opportunity to make peace with the Muslim world after stealing all their black gold.
The Tories have a chance to stab at Blair and his boys for anything and everything that they can, like children.
And where does the aid go? No doubt enormous reconstruction projects will be undertaken, all by Western companies. This means our donations are going straight back into the hands of the the large engineering companies. Some fat man in the West is getting fatter. Which is why Gordon Brown is insisting that if interest repayments are lifted for a while, that the money saved must go directly into reconstruction. That fat man donated to the Labour government last year....

On the other hand, alchemy may exist. A lot of cash is about to be made from the reconstruction projects, and it's all come outta nowhere. Time to buy stock in large construction companies.
