Point is, you could have expressed your dissatisfaction with the politics of it all with out being so offensive. Yes, I'm sure some of the countries affected spend a lot of money on their military capability, yes some sort of early warning may have helped a bit but, to be frank, a hell of a lot of people would have been killed in the stampede and, as has been mentioned, they'd still be homeless.
Also, whatever the past political and spending descisions of the governments involved, the fact is the area has just suffered one of its worst natural disasters on record and there are people out there who need help.
Wouldn't it be great if this thing woke up the world to the fact that looking after people was more important than military spending but sadly, that's a long way away, and people out there need our help right now.
Basically you've just ended up sounding like you're so wrapped up your personal political righteousness that you've missed the point of being politically righteous.
