125,000 people died from the Tsunami while 125,000 nuclear weapons continue to live. The Tsunami killed less people than the total amount of nuclear weapons that currently exist on the planet.

Usually a tragedy does not allow some of it's victims a choice, and in that sense the Tsunami was a tyrant with a heart. Some victims and some survivors actually had time to make decisions that would ultimately affect whether they lived or died. The same cannot be said about a nuclear explosion.

To go forward and implement a Worldwide Tsunami Warning System without addressing what to do about the worlds nuclear weapon arsenal would be unnacceptable in my eyes.

A Tsunami is nature's way of slowing down the horror of a nuclear explosion by turning a mushroom cloud into a tidal wave. But unlike a nuclear explosion, a tsunami quickly retreats and allows all of mankind to immediately begin the task of rebuilding.

It's estimated that the energy released by a 9.0 earthquake that caused the Tsunami was equivalent to 1 million nuclear bombs. It would seem that nature really is much more civil than mankind could ever be when it comes to how it unleashes huge amounts of energy.

One Tsunami, aka a million nuclear bombs killed 125,000 people. One "civilized" nuclear weapon could kill 10 million people.

Just who is the friendlier foe?

99,999 nuclear weapons of fear on the wall, 99,999 nuclear weapons of fear, if one of those weapons should happen to fall, 99,998 nuclear weapons of fear on the wall.

We have far to travel when it comes to learning from our own planet. Cursing a Tsunami and questioning how God could unyield such a force entirely misses the bigger picture. For those who believe in God, Thank God that a Tsunami may have been the gentlest reminder we could ever be given about just how deadly our own manmmade nuclear weapons really are. If we fail to see the connection between a Tsunami and our own nuclear weapons arsenal, we put the worlds future at great risk, and we have disrespected all of those killed by the Tsunami.
