^ great article on the situation... i have a big stink w/ this whole situation...

We live in a county who helps anyone in need, you will find our troops in every part of the world, & we as americans are leaders of the free world. But what just kills me is you don't see countries coming to our aid... how much money did we give for the Tsunami victims??? ya now look at us in need and no one is here to help. it is a fucking shame.

Now my other huge problem... this is exactly the situations that happen when you least expect them and this is why you never spread yourself too thin. Bush has been campaigning for his bullshit war all up until the annoucement of devastation... if we didn't have so many service men scattered across the globe helping out other countries we could have 10,000s of troops down there already working to make that region stable. i personally have no sympathy for our administration and the problems they now face, b/c of their lack of vision to help their own people. even before this disaster, we still could always use all the help at home we can get.

I know some of you Bush fans are thinking, well its not his fault we are spread so thin. Bullshit we are at war w/ 2 different countries and we are a likely target right now for more attacks. Its not hard to see/read the news on how thin we are spread. if there was an attack on a city of ours right now we would be beyond devastating to the US.

I know this is just me ranting, but I feel very strongly if you can't take care of our own then you shouldn't be taking care of others.

ps. definately read that article (its 3 pages) things are getting extremely crazy down there... "a brother shot his sister in the head over a bag of ice", "shot fired at rescure helicopters", "medics scard b/c of crowd w/ guns", "National Reserve only sending 100 MP to tame crowd", etc.

Paul you my boy... But stop hatting on bush...hahahaha

"""
WASHINGTON (AP) - In an accelerating drive, more than 50 countries have pledged money or other assistance to help Americans recover from Hurricane Katrina. ""

Even venezuela & CUBA are going to help... EVEN CUBA.. holly shit.

"
The pledges blur political lines. Cuba and Venezuela have offered to help despite differences with Washington. Oil giant Saudi Arabia and small countries like Sri Lanka and Dominica are among the nations making pledges.

"


If you think about it.. Is only been "5 days" when I say 5 days is, This is the beggining of a long journey.

Another thing most other countries have major issues of themselfs right now. And still helping out how they can.

Heres a list of countries helping out

By Friday, offers had been received from Russia, Japan, Canada, France, Honduras, Germany, Venezuela, Jamaica, Australia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, Hungary, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, China, South Korea, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, Guatemala, Paraguay, Belgium, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Italy, Guyana, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Austria, Lithuania, Spain, Dominica, Norway, Cuba, Bahamas, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Ecuador, Iceland, India, Jordan, Luxembourg, the Philippines, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey.
