Dear Friends,
I have been following closely the lack of response to those in need of help
in New Orleans. But tonight what I saw on TV confirmed my worst beliefs!!
There was an Australian journalist standing beside a number of decaying
bodies in the street as soldiers, police and rescue workers walked on by.
He asked each of them if they had any intention of removing the bodies, but
no, it was not part of their job statement!!!!!!!!! Then finally some
paramedics came along and he knew the bodies would be removed. But no -
no-one had told them to do it either. They simply got out their digital
cameras and started taking photos of half submerged houses!!!!!!!!!
Next thing people will be wondering why on earth all that water is becoming
so polluted!!
I'm sorry if I've offended anyone, but people here on talk-back radio are
beginning to say things like, "when the USA finds itself totally bankrupt
after another 5 years in Iraq, then they will only be the 3rd world country
they are fast becoming!" and "from what we see here, there is no difference
at all between Vietnam and Iraq, and they will lose this one too".
I watched "Platoon" again yesterday - perhaps I shouldn't have done so - it
always stirs me up.
