It's because of the same reason everyone in Russia always think the world should start crying whenever a tragedy happens to them; the same with Briton, or Germany, or France, or Japan, or any other country in the world.
It's because people are a bunch of fucking greedy, arrogant bastards. People like weeping over their own problems but turning a blind eye to anyone else's. It makes it easier that way.
People don't care. That's why making war is so easy.
I would not classify you as a terroist at all for that. Or anything else. That is your personal opinion, and you are entitled to it, no matter what anyone else thinks. And I voted for Bush for office. And he has done a damn fine job of it, IMO. Sol here is just stressed probably because of the problems he is dealing with after Katrina.
I agree that this is a tragedy for the Amis, just as it was in Bangladesh was for the Bangledeshi. The Amis do not care what happens in the world unless interfering with it makes them rich or righteous. Or a combination thereof.
Personally, I would like to help as a professional law enforcement officer and volunteer firefighter. As a German, it is a small swath of destruction. But then, to be a tad sardonic - any one that lives in a city surrounded by synthetic barries holding back water is doomed to drown, and it is the tulimate arrogance of man in an attempt to circumvent the forces of nature. The Earth has survived for billions of years and will endure long after humanity has been wiped clean from its surface. - New Orleans should have been built somewhere else.
On a humanitarian level, the entire operation is a tad on the botched side. However, such is the way of things. Does the world care - no - should they, no. Do Amis think they should care -of course, because they are Amis. But alas, Amis rule the world until China and India decide they have had enough.
Perhaps....
As for the bodies, they should be retrieved and incinerated - allowing them to remain is hazardous and burrying them wastes space.
The way I see it, Americans care when Americans die, Bangladeshians care when Bangladeshians die, it just so happens that Americans have more media so it sounds louder when they mourn. I imagine people in Bangladesh care roughly as much for New Orleans sinking as Americans care for when bad things happen to people in Bangladesh.
Through the 'American Media' however, it is my view, at least, that america cares more about rising oil and petrol prices than the lives of the people still struggling to get out.
John Kerry knew how to have passion and how to shout, and that's basically it. At least Bush has the knowledge passed onto him from his father. So yeah, basically we expected Iraq to be taken care of. But that didn't seem like a bad thing at the time.
John Kerry would have been like, "WE'LL GO TO KABUL, THEN KRAKSTAN, THEN ONTO FARSTAN"
and
"WE'LL DELIVER RELIEF SUPPLIES TO NEW ORLEANS, AND ST.BERNANRD's PARRISH, WE'LL REBUILD, WE'LL MOVE ON, I NEED A DAMN GLASS OF WATER"
But anyways, this thread is devoted to Katrina. Moving back onto topic now....
Yeah people are still waiting to be evacuated but aren't because of the gunmen shooting the NG. I heard that a team of snipers had been delievered to the rooftops of some of the taller buildings in New Orleans to start picking off looters.
