You know, the hyperbole of the media is just inane. This is not our "tsunami".
The tsunami arrived without warning, took tens of thousands of lives and caused widespread devastation.
Katrina arrived with ample warning, was covered live as it happened by every news outlet in the country, killed a few hundred (tragically) and DID cause massive amounts of property and material devastation. It's bad. It's real bad. It's not our "tsunami". It's our Hurricane Katrina. Bad, but not AS bad as the tsunami.
Which should be bad enough. Why compare to other disasters? What's the point? Especially disimilar ones?
And why the victimology of "weep, weep, no one will help the United States..." I mean, come on - who is rich enough or has our resources to help us with a disaster of this scale? France? Russia? haha. nobody. Nobody has the excess capital or the means to bring in material comfort in a timely fashion - and certainly not as fast as we could provide it ourselves.
the question that the media should be asking - "Gee, with all the US National Guard units over in Iraq, Doesn't this make dealing with disasters like this much harder?"
Nah - it's "oh poor US suffering it's Tsunami. No one will halp us. Boo hoo."
As an American I am disgusted that once again our media lets us down.
