It seems to me that you do not have to be persuaded by the likes of Peter Singer's paper 'Famine, Affluence, and Morality' to find something troubling or unsatisfying about shrinkette's post on tsunami victims. For a critical but constructive idea along this line, see:

For a copy of Singer's paper, see:
http://www.petersingerlinks.com/famine.htm
An updated expression of the ideas in that 1972 Singer paper appears in the second edition of Singer's book Practical Ethics, Cambridge University Press, 1993. This material is relevant to various posts on Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog. Anyone interested might want to read some of the material Singer provides here:
