There was a headline on one of our tabloids yesterday that said ‘Third World America’ above a picture of the desperate and dying in NO. And now Bush has confirmed that he sees them as another country, not part of his ‘merka.
May God bless the people of this part of the world, and may God continue to bless our country
George W. Bush 9/2/05 Speaking in New Orleans, LA
I am beyond words, beyond outrage, beyond grief. I can’t believe this is happening and I can believe this of the neocons because it fits in with their philosophy.
The BBC have set up to give daily broadcasts; last night he said (paraphrasing)
“there are still thousands without aid or rescue. Everywhere we went people were asking us for water – we gave away everything we had with us”
People are still dying every day, people who lived through the storm and flooding, people who should have been ok.
How can this happen?
