Right, well this is what gets me....

(and intentionally put in simple terms as I don't have all day!)

The US foreign policy means it spends all it's money on invading other countries for oil, and deploys all it's troops abroad;
The US domestic policy has neglected the fact that so many live well below the poverty level in many areas - in particular the region most effected;
The US gun culture, supported by many presidents, has armed half the bloody population.

When they finally lose the gamble and find themselves in s**t compounded by the above three issues, they start crying.

Where and when did level of lawlessness occur with comparable disasters elsewhere, and much larger ones such as the Tsunami ?

And still the US preaches to the rest of the world.
Don't even get me on to Kyoto, SUV's, oil / petrol prices, Iraq.

But anyway, good to hear you and your friends are safe.
