Point 1) Can any early alert warning system, realy predict Tsunami? Is it possible to have one? I thought it was impossible to predict earthquakes with fair accuracy and precision.

Point 2) Lets assume that the early warning system is possible but expensive... Then I think the richer countries may come forward and help pay for a tsunami early warning system for Asia. But it doesn't mean that they are forced to. By paying for an early warning system for Asia, they are obviously investing some money, but on a long run, it will be a good decision, because their scientists can monitor the early warning system and can "experiment" it in real life situations and see how accurate it is. And ultimately, who knows if the richer countries won't be hit by any tsunami? and during that time, this Tsunami Early Warning system in which they invested earlier, can come to their own benefits.

I dont step aside. I step UP!
