Katrina

What happened there was really bad, really horrible. It was no more and no less horrible than the number of natural disasters that happen each year.

What happened afterwards were distressing, for the country which seeks to invade and dictate democracy; to turn black people into looters and whites into people trying to scavenge food; that people that try to rescue others are branded racist; that armed gangs are shooting down aircraft; for the fact that when I heard it had happened to this country I again felt little but Sinicism: For this I get worried, it distresses me.

I hope all other people from all other nations can empathise with the US, let us help with this as we would any other disaster.

And maybe there can be some good out of this. Maybe the country that builds cities 6 feet under sea level will start taking more interest in the poisons it spews out, will stop using agreements as chips to further exploit other less privileged nations. Maybe, just maybe they could hire skilled and highly trained workers from Iraq and Afghanistan to come and help rebuild the US.

Maybe
