Everyone is in panic and talks about donating....Except the Japanese theirself...

This cartoon nailed my views about it.

I say blame the media.  An earthquake followed by a tsunami and a nuclear disaster is rather spectacular. Africans dying at a steady pace is not. Public likes spectacle and government wanna look good with the public.
