Iran Earthquake Kills at least 400
Is see the Red Cross doesn't have anything about this on their home page. Nor does WorldVision. I understand that this disaster is hardly comparable in magnitude. But (forgive my cynicism)...
With Bush in Europe discussing how much longer the EU gets to play footsie with Iran before someone takes the nuke threat seriously, it would send a message to our real allies on the Iran question - the Iranian people - if it became uncomfortably clear that the people providing relief were predominantly Western and maybe even from the Great Satan.
Wonder if Iran would hamper relief efforts out of fear of just that.
Syria would.
In any case, if you follow the two links, hopefully they'll have something up soon, allowing you to do some good not just for people now in need but perhaps toward further eroding an awful regime and bringing relative peace to a problematic region.
