I have always been an environmentalist but am not able to fight the good fight on every environmental issue on the planet. I choose those which mean the most to me. People will donate to the Japanese people because they feel a more personal connection with the disaster here possibly more than what they feel for disasters in other areas. If we donated to every possible cause out there we'd all be broke! Your point is a valid one from a certain viewpoint but it does not reflect the reality of why people will feel motivated to choose one issue over another.

Fair point...
I guess I've made my case... not much more I can do.
