I'm also following the various LJ links here. My, you're the popular one today.
Anyway, thanks for your whole write-up. It's strange, but we barely have any coverage of what's happening over there at all. We see snippets on the news- people are looting, stuff is smashed up, and everything's pretty bloody wet- but that's about as far as it goes. I've heard less about the mass destruction than I have about one of our politicians who drunkenly called an Asian woman a "mail order bride" at a function. Compared to our extensive coverage and aid in regard to the more local tsunami disaster, our media is pretty piss poor right now.
