Strange.....

In one week we have two countries with natural disasters.......tens of thousands are dead....because of government corruption or neglect....or because of the way nature often shows her fury...........and very few can see that the response to Katrina wasn't all that bad after all.

As a matter of fact after the local officials screwed the pooch royally.......after the federal government took over the scene things went pretty well in comparison to Burma and China.

Just a thought........
