Your point of view on the role of the UN and the war in Iraq is clear. I have a completely different opinion on this issue, but, yes, it’s off-topic. I think that with respect to Iraq roughly 50% of the population in the US is against the war. Regardless, every one wants that order and peace will be returned to this country before the American troops leave. That’s in every body’s interests and that’s out of the question. Here is an interesting article relating both: war in Iraq and Tsunami: http://www.iraq-war.ru/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=34960
On the topic. Russia was silent but it did sent help (money, equipment, rescuer teams). The reason is also that there were not too many Russian tourists there. December 25 is Christmas time in the west, not in Russia (Russian or Ukrainian Christmas is the first week of January. December 25 is not a holiday there). So, European countries suffered major losses in terms of lives of tourists (not talking about locals. Horrible tragedy).
I am not sure about the weapon or that the whole thing was man-made. To me it’s more like a science fiction. Plus from the moral prospective: What kind of a psycho do you have to have sitting in the government who is able to order doing such a thing??? Anyways I think we have talked about this before. But I do think that it would make sense if both sides would do steps to figure out what happened there in reality.
