The USA - a third world country?

Anonymous

I'm disgusted that the American government was so slow and did not prepare for this. Some say it was a disaster waiting to happen! President Bush, if you think that killing Muslims in Iraq is more important than your own people then maybe you should resign!

The ad on DS asking for donations makes me sick cus there are so many rich people in America that can donate out of their own pockets rather than asking us lot to donate!

Just seen the news on BBC 1. I cant believe the treatment of the dead. Understandably it is important to get living people out of the areas but to just leave the dead bodies to rot is an absolute disgrace

Interesting watching CNN just now, they're reporting that the US government has banned any images showing bodies, presumably just for the US internal media.

Obviously there's a line to tread when it comes to respecting the dead, but it sounds like something an oppressive regieme does to protect its propaganda!

Bodies have been lying in the streets of a major city for 10 days now, in temperatures of around 32 degrees. You'd think that even an incompetent government would see that as unacceptable.

What sensible reason would there be for rebuilding a city which is surrounded by water, on land which is below sea level?

This was the regime which banned images of the return of dead soldiers from Iraq

Oh no, no, no. Please no, this can't be true. Aaaaaargh!

If you don't hear from me again, i'm likely to be dead. If you're concerned about me, tell the police the suspects name is Stanley Blade.
