Am I the only one who feels this is SURREAL??

We are in deep prayer for the people of Japan, who are currently undergoing tremendous challenges of shelter (and it is cold in Japan; certain places have snow on the ground...these are people whose homes have either disappeared or are uninhabitable), food, electricity.  Many children (in kindergartens, schools) lost their parents.  Many families are missing members, still searching.

Then there is the scary part about the possible nuclear meltdown.  Government is trying to keep people calm so are not disseminating too much information.

Am I the only one on this planet who feels that:  A: we are trying to help people in Japan recover from a combination of natural disasters: earthquake, tsunami and.....we still don't know what the "aftershock" will bring to these people.

MEANWHILE - B: at the other end of the world a MADMAN is trying his level best to PRODUCE a manmade WAR of "earthquake" and "tsunami" to his people!!!   How can this be happening?? 

It happens because of selfishness and madness and the desire to hold POWER at any cost.  This is all too surreal for me, and I can only GIVE to organizations listed by trusted NPR:

In addition to the American Red Cross, the United States Agency for International Development works with the Center for International Disaster Information at CIDI.org. They coordinate aid from individuals, groups, corporations and the diaspora population.
Amazon.com has been accepting Japan-targeted donations and passing them to American Red Cross.
The online coupon site Groupon has set up a page for donations to the International Medical Corps' relief efforts in Japan.
The American Red Cross, Verizon and AT&T are among organizations and companies that are soliciting relief effort donations via text.
Free information on America's charities can be found at Charity Navigator and at Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy has been tracking donations to aid victims in Japan.

At the moment CASH is the best donation!

As for the MADMAN in Africa - he is creating a living hell for his people and I'm not sure how we can help there.
