Jack,

Of course you are right. And of course, the Red Cross use the highest figure of casulties, they can find, to make their point.

Sorry, I'm perhaps not myself at the moment, but stuff like the 'Telethon' made me mad as hell.

Nothing wrong with mourning the dead from this dreadful deed of course.

But, you'd need a telethon 24 hours a day, every day if you wanted to help all the poor in the world.

How many American actors put on black ties, and look concerned for the people dying from famine and disaster, in Asia and Africa today? Not last week, not yesterday, but TODAY - NOW

Sorry, I'm just a bit tearful and mad at the moment
