The problem now isn't going to be solved with money. The Americans have done more with their Aircraft carrier than all the money the Swedes will do.
Problem now:
1) Clean water delivery
2) Food delivery
3) Medication delivery
All of which the American are again doing the heavy lifting
4) Dead body disposal(Sorry to say you don't need money to do this...just alot of hands)
To say the least Japan was there with Aegis Destroyers in hours and rescue/medical relief teams in days. Australians in there with rescue/medical relief teams within hours and days. Americans were there with an Aircraft carrier, landing craft and thousaands of soldiers with in days
Canada: DART'ing in after a week. Which country will the Libs beg to airlift our DART'ing relief effort? Hmm? And there is STILL SOME PEOPLE TRASHING THE AMERICANS HERE :angry:
Just an aside: Lets say our DART team is off in Indonesia (or where ever) and this trememndous quake signals further tetonic shifts closer to home. Who the hell will be saving Vancouver? My guess it will be those "Stingy" Aircraft carrier guys
