3/4 of donated money to Haiti disaster relief did not make it there how can I be assured help to Japan will?
I have no objection to giving to a good cause. How could someone help and it not be a poor gamble that it actually goes toward its intended cause.

you can't that is why so many people don't donate to relief funds....some a**hole is getting rich off the money.
2 :
If you give to the Red Cross it will get put towards buying supplies etc and will not even go anywhere near government hands.

Because if it doesn't the japanese have a comparatively sophisticated justice system and those responsible will be held accountable.

the Red Cross are as corrupt as ANY other charitable organisation where LARGE volumes of cash just goes ' missing ' it happens everywhere in the world because human nature is basically shite and that's the bottom line...

With or without aid Japan will recover and be stronger than ever. The Japanese learn from disaster and will come up with safer architectural designs and better technology that will limit damages and save lives in preparation for future disasters. It is possible that the whole civilized world could benefit in the long run from their experience. Haiti is was and always will be a run down shitland. The earthquake was basically like putting dog turd in a blender. The majority of what the blacks have/had was built 200 years ago by the French. The blacks lived off of what was already built and stripped down the country for what ever cash was available. No different than any inner city in the U.S.. The blacks built nothing, repaired nothing and just destroyed what ever was left for them. Haiti's biggest natural disaster was not an earthquake but an infestation of black parasites. Black societies are completely useless and serve no benefit to mankind. I would rather flush my money down the toilet than donate to Haiti.

Today, you would like to give money to the Japan earthquake relief, and that is a good thing. If you do that, good on you. HOWEVER--if, next week, the home next to you burns down, the Red Cross CANNOT use your donation to help that family. Why? Because you specified that your donation had to go to Japan. Also--the earthquake happened on a Friday. The Red Cross and other relief organizations already existed on Thursday, right? So before the disaster hit, they had offices in place to get information and coordinate their responses. Relief agencies need stuff independent of any specific disaster. Agencies need vehicles to get to disasters. These are usually vans and trucks. These need gas, oil, tires, inspection, maintenance, and insurance--all of which costs money. Agency offices need electricity, water, computers, Internet access, phones, phone service, printers, paper, toner--and people. People need to be paid living wages and have healthcare insurance in full-time jobs. (You want that, right?) All of that already had to be paid for, so when disasters occur, the agencies are ready. Without unrestricted donations not tied to any event, relief agencies cannot have any of these necessities--and can't respond as effectively as necessary.
