What we have is clear evidence that the Government is NOT prepared to weather a serious threat, natural or otherwise.. Accountability is demanded!

Do not rebuild that disaster.. make it a memorial to the unfortunate, and a reminder that preparedness is not a "city in Iraq"..

I'm beginning to loose faith in our government.

we have military forces here, in bases around the country that could have been instantly converted to perform rescue and survival operations INSTANTLY!!

YET, Americans will risk their lives for people in Iraq, but not their own citizens.. there is a great disparity, here
__________________________________________________ _______
the Gov't can wage a pointless war built on deception in Iraq.. a war for "helping Iraq's people".. and the same Gov't can't figure out how to help its own citizens?

Is our Gov't more afraid to help its own people in a tense situation than it is to wage war for foreign peoples? How sad is that!!!

Why would the Americans have no problem "helping" Iraqis by occupying their country to rebuild it in the American model; meanwhile, Americans will enforce martial law on other Americans (the less unfortunate ones). ……This catastrophe is in my mind a major sign that the USA is maxing out on resources both human and material wise. What's worst is the Bush Administration is like an animal that's only interested in saving its own fur and it's own kind. This is really sad to see such an incompetant government in office running a "super power".

The US has failed to establish control on foreign soil and on its home soil.. cooperation is better than "control".. Aid will win their hearts, bullets and force will find its way back to us..
