our comments on the government's efforts on behalf of the victims of Mount Kelud, which erupted on Thursday night sending a huge plume of ash and dust 17 kilometers into the air ' the latest in a series of natural disasters including the Mount Sinabung eruption in North Sumatra and flooding in a number of locations:
Well, the government has done its best. It evacuated thousands in the hours after the eruption.

How kind and thoughtful of Indonesia's President to allow his wife and himself to be visible to the poor and the needy.
Indonesia is so lucky to have this former military general as the leader of their people, even so just be sure nobody get close enough to ask the President for any urgent financial aid.

Learning from the impact of the Kelud eruption on aviation, Indonesia needs to construct a high-speed train so that transportation will not be affected by such disasters.
