Reply #8: There are a few flaws in his thesis

Why is it our responsibility to build a early warning station in the Indian Ocean? The Pacific I can see because we have Hawaii, Saipan, Guam, American Samoa. Which are American territories. If the the system is so cheap why isn't he screaming at India for not building it? They could have bought one less Mig-29 or T-72 from Russia and payed for it. Also when did the earthquake happen? Was there anyone at work to warn. Also if you are a geologist at NOAA do you actually know who to call? Then from what I recall the Thais at least we warned but did nothing. Yes we are sending 15 million, then another 20 million in loans, then there is the food aid which is heading its way through other groups like the UN. (The US is the largest donater of food aid in the world. Usually given to the UN and NGOs who then distribute it. Also we are mobilizing elements of the US military and equipment to help out. He seems like he has nothing but an axe to grind.
