The most damage was caused from the damn collapsing causing major floods. Whatever that president's strategy was at that time, who knows. Ask him. Our present president(Obama) did what had to be done without delay, immediately. Unfortunitly, nature is going to take it's place, no matter what, and we, as people, have to reach out and help one another, regardles of race, region, religion, sex or creed. Who's waisting time sitting back, analyzing, measuring, or comparing how much should be done and to determine that it's enough? Haiti is known to be one of the poorest countries south of the Hemisphere and the United States is the closest to lend a hand. When Cuba's country was devistated by the many hurricanes, it was their government who refused our (United States) help. But we still volunteered. Let's be thankful for what we have; more importantly, thankful for the life that God has spared us and give God the grace and glory. Always remember: natural disasters comes from God and he chooses who is to stay and whose time to come Home.

On this I was at the Pentagon on 9/11 as an EMT and I was there for days and weeks after wards. I met people who came from all over the country this there experience on how to get people out of rubble. California, I met fire fighters who had the experience to get people out after an Earthquake, Alaska, the people I met from there had experience because of avalanches, Colorado, Montana, Utah, and others even from Texas to North Dakota because of natural disasters in those states. Before you start to compare an attack by humans to that of a natural disaster get your facts straight, the real people who are at fault with Katrina was the people Louisiana. Not the federal government. For example when a Hurricane is about to sit a state like Florida or North Carolina you will have the governors of those states come on TV to warn people weeks before the storm is going to hit not day before or hours but weeks. For people to either evacuate or to start to get supplies to ride out the storm. 9/11 was because some people who were against our very way of life and our support of Israel wanted us to crumble at their feet, but we didn't. Next time if or when we have another 9/11 still attack how about you go to the town or city and get your hands dirty like I did. The reason we are helping Haiti is because they asked us and the other reason is because no one expected an Earthquake to strike like it did another reason is because our country is the best equiped to handle any kind of natural disaster. In California, they have to handle Earthquakes on a daily bases because of the San Andres Fault that runs through the state. Mountain states are the best on how to dig people out of alvanches. The mid western states Texas to North Dakota are best to get people out after a tornado. And of course the eastern states are the best to get people out after Hurricanes.

Weren't the widows of 9/11 given something like 20 million $$ each, not to mention the huge surplus fund that was created after to help the victims. Whatever happened to those funds?
