I think trying to move out 1.5 million people, most of which had no where to go and no way of getting there, out of a place bigger than the whole of the UK isnt as easy as you seem to think Allan.

But what concerns me is that they cant seem to cope with the aftermath and like you say they had warning that something was going to happen.

The pictures Im watching on telly are unbeleivable. It looks worse than any third world country and the behaviour of lots of the people there is breath taking. Ive never seen such out right evel in a crisis. Crisis are a time to pull together. 9/11 showed the world that America can pull together. This has shown the world that they can also pull apart

It really seems like nothing is being done. The US government acted far quicker to the Tsunami crisis in different countries 1000's of miles away than it did in its own country.

If I was a US citizen I'd want to know why has the government not acted as quickly, infact not really acted at all, to a crisis in its own country like it does in helping other countries.

Also after watching the scenes on the telly, I can see why US citizens carry guns. To defend yourselves from your neighbours.

These events are unbeleivable
