Sad....

Sad and very, VERY angry as well, how can a self-proclaimed GREAT nation like the USA not be able to give it's own citizens the help they require? How can they sit on their asses several days after this disaster and NOT SEE THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION????!!!! Not to be able to give these poor, poor victims water, food, shelter, medicines, to protect them from harm, from thugs and criminals, not be able to have them evacuated? How in the world can a (self-proclaimed) GREAT nation like the USA be intimidated by these thugs, thieves and worseless criminals, let them rule a great city like New Orleans, rape, shoot, loot, use violence and scare the helpless victims of the hurricane? How can a (selfproclaimed) GREAT nation like the USA let its own citizens die because they are not rescued in time, not evacuated, not given the treatment they need. How on earth can the American Government spend time on petty arguments with the local governement instead of reacting? And, sweet Jesus, why didn't they react sooner?!?!?!

My heart goes out to all those affected by this terrible disaster. I am so sad, my tears cannot help them, my thoughts or awkward atheist prayers cannot help, but hopefully now, nearly a week after the disaster, they can at last be rescued, all of them. And eventually, I hope to come visit and admire your great city of New Orleans again.
