My biggest problem with Buddhism is that it teaches that suffering is the result of desire. So those people in Indonesia got hit with a tsunami because they wanted to catch more fish to build a better life? Many desires are perfectly legitimate: the desire for happiness, for food, for knowledge etc.

It's hard to deny the logic, though; Suffering is what happens when reality fails to match your desires. If you have no desires, you have no suffering.
I don't think they mean that desire causes supernatural forces to punish you.
