So, have YOU donated to the Japanese relief effort yet?

If it makes you feel better, this money is going to organizations like the Red Cross, not Japan.

Japan has not requested any foreign aid, most likely never will during the course of this disaster, and all funds donated will go to countries that are actually in greater need of foreign aid.

People should donate - they absolutely should - but they should also know where their money is going.

thank you for that particularly moot point

Man, what? It's completely salient to the question of whether or not giving to the Japan relief effort is as moral/effective as giving in other places.
