William, you are technically correct and I don't disagree with you. I wrote
the same thing myself. See

However, your message did seem devoid of compassion and as Ron said, it
came cross as "cold". To those of us whose fellow countrymen have died by
the thousands, it hits a little harder than you might expect.
For the record, we've never had a tsunami in these parts in known history,
so an expensive monitoring system (about $27 million cost) probably didn't
seem worth the investment. Hindsight is always 20-20.
Regards,

www.Instapundit.com )
PS: I've got a nice orange-lemon chicken recipe on my chef blog that you
folks might enjoy.
