Help earthquake survivors in Iran

With a death toll that could reach 50,000, the Bam earthquake is one of the worst in modern times. Mercy Corps is providing lifesaving aid and needs your help to reach the 150,000 people left homeless amid freezing temperatures.

$750 Can provide a school-in-a-box for children disrupted by the earthquake
$110 Can Provide a Tent for a Family of Five
$60 Can Provide Drinking Water to 30 People
$45 Can Provide Space Heaters to Three Families
$25 Can Provide Blankets to a Family of Five

1. Didn't Patriot II just pass?

Not to be uncharitable, but what are the implications of contributing to a charity that's helping Iran?

This is EXACTLY the sort of situation I'm concerned about with Patriot II's new provisions...
