No Donor Rush to Aid Japan

Or so I read today in the USA Today.  The article is factual, and represents a short term mentality about aid.  Aid services usually fill the gap of need between disaster and the flow of bureaucratic assistance.  The point is timeliness, and Red Cross, among others, are there with water and shelter as soon as humanly possible, when it is most needed.  A week later, it is too late for thousands of second wave victims.  As we saw in New Orleans.

Getting Japan back on its feet fast will also keep the struggling economy of the world on the mend, impacting people in need everywhere.
