That's one thing that I don't like about spot lighting a single person in
a tragedy.  Dave Goldfield's desire to help this woman is admirable.  I
had the same feelings myself while reading the article.  However, the
article mentioned that some 100 individuals lost there sight during this
terrible incident.  I realize we can't help everyone and helping one
person is better than helping no one.  But I can help think that if the
journalist had just picked a different person we would all be wanting to
help that person and we would not even know about this poor lady.

It just seems a bit unfare to all those others blinded in the bombing, if
we all go running off and dump a bunch of equipment on this one person and
ignore the others.  This was just one story.  I'm sure that many of the
other 99 or so are similarly heart breaking.

What am I suggesting?  I have no idea.  Do I think we should hold aid from
this one person?  No.  Do I think we should try and look at the bigger
picture?  Certainly.  How do we do that?  I'm open for suggestions.
