Hi, Steve, glad to see you back here. The 20 Billion figure works out to a 'Per Capita" of about $780, which is abysmal, and probably not too far off. Don't underestimate the ability of the Paks to rebuild based on refugee capital, or overestimate the ability of our social workers to distribute aid there that goes anywhere but to the Tribal Chief's bank account. I think the locals will only get food from us that is personally handed out by us. The downside of feeding people is that the local farmers then have no market for their crops.

What do you think of our efforts right now to fight the Muslim Guerillas in the Southern Philippines by sending troops?--As if I could not guess!---Do you think the local politics involved could cause problems?
