I could swear that as I was getting dressed this morning, I heard someone on the Today Show note the fact that Indonesia boasts the world's largest population of Muslims, and then go on to speculate that the Islamic world might well be surprised that the United States is acting with as much concern as it is over the tsunami disaster there. Assuming I heard correctly, could a dumber thing have possibly been said? Do we really need to look upon one of the most massive, if not the most massive, relief project of all time as an opportunity to score some "brownie points" with a constituency with which we haven't been seeing eye-to-eye with lately (to understate things drastically)?
