Katrina

even if the citizens have been warned ...do u really think that a poor family leave a non assured home easier than a rich family an assured house and wait outside the affected area in a hotel until it´s over? Poor families would lose all of their existence and there have been so many hurricans and nothing happened all the years before.

Nevertheless, in my eyes it´s sad that the american military can be present at two countries inbetween 24 h but cant help their own ppl in that time...they had to wait 5 fully days!!!! thats really sad.

USA - I thought the strongest country in the world...But it seems that they even can't make fast moves to protect their own civil rights when the crisis comes...Whole USA administration and politic reaction is pathetic. They waited for 5 days to help them...arogant rich idiots...It would be realy interesting what would happen if Washington or Boston was stormed by Katrine, how fast would help come...Bush must go down after this.

i think castro's probably doing this to get the americans even more irrate. he probably knows that america isn't gonna let any other troops into the country, (probably not even british ones), so i think that offer is a wind-up

To our european friends: what you see in the US should be a warning to your own nations about the inability of large government bureaucracies to get anything accomplished in a timely manner. The same Navy that single-handedly saved hundreds of thousands of Indonesians from certain death was incapable of supporting an American city because of requirements to work through various federal agencies (FEMA, Red Cross, Northern Command, etc.) instead of taking decisive, independent action.

The complete lack of local leadership by the mayor and governor further complicated rescue efforts (reference the Ray Nagin Memorial Motor Pool). The lesson here gentlemen is if the sh*t really hits the fan, no one will save you or look out for you and your family except YOU. Not the government, police, military, whoever. They have more important things to do, like kill looters and rebuild infrastructure.

What you just said has also being used as a excuse of terrorism. Though I agree that the american inferstruture as about as effective as the adverage junior school council.

well we used tham as slaves we have a resposbulaty to get tham on thare feet.

No we did'nt, our generation had nothing to do with that, its like saying all Germans should pay for WW2 (come to think about it germany did'nt pay for WW2) or maybe the british should pay for taking over the world along with the romans???

whats done is done and as it was not done by us then we don't pay, how would you like it having to pay for a crime your grandfather commited?!

I'm not payin tax dollars to people who had plenty of time to get out of the way of this hurricane on the grounds that it's somehow the white mans fault. I WILL pay taxes and donate to charity to help the people who lost all their stuff and couldn't afford insurance.

I knew this would turn into another political thread, I just knew it, and were back to america bashing.
