Just to fix something, if I recall a very large natural disaster happened in asia just like 8 months ago. But yes please donate, still a horrible horrible event.

It is a terrible tragedy, it's too bad so many people ignored the evacuation order. It could have been much worse of course, if Katrina hadn't drifted east a little before it hit a 10 foot wall of water would have marched through the city, probably killing everyone in it.

It's also being reported now that National Guard units from multiple states are preparing to initiate combat operations to reclaim order in parts of the city that are currently under the control of roving gangs of thugs. One NG soldier was shot non-critically at the Superdome and is currently recovering.

what i am very very surprised about is the lack of aid given to the usa from the uk, i would of thought that we would have been there helping the us stand back up, i know your a big country and can handal yourself but still a friendly gesture would be nice.

I doubt the un will give any or if they do it will be very little aid to the usa, the un is very biased imho.

"Decided to remove the next bit, its more for the pol thread than this"

but to sum it all up, i can't belive that the fore fathers built there, its kind of stupid, i think building in tonadoe alley and on the san andreas fault line was possibly the most stupid thing european settlers could have doen, in a way the should accept resonsibly for that as would you build a city in a hazord area?

i think he means nothing as bad has hit america before... maybe

America hasn't had a disater like this since 1906 but they have had hundreds of smaller ones. This disater destroyed a city and the area around it. The Tsunami destroyed entire contries!

but then again, a state in the usa is about as big as a lot of countrys...

Look this CANNOT compare to the tsunami, no matter what it destroyed, just look at the number of fatalities
