Mohtram Javed Bhai, Assalamu Alaikum

I have evaluated the "visit" of Hurricane Katrina as a Muslim should. You 
can make a leading news Itemin your next issue. The supremacy of the 
USAhas totally been exposed. Her "myth" has been shattered. In case of 
emergency or some catastrophic eventsthey did very 
poorly.Thisis not a goodsign for the country that is dictating 
terms topoor nations whereas it could not keep her own house in 
order. "Fataberu ya Ulul Absar"

KATRINA 
EXPOSED SHORTCOMINGS OF AMERICA

[Shamim A Siddiqi, 
New 
York]

Hurricane Katrina came like a thunder 
and gone like an ordinary storm. In its wake, it left the 
Gulf 
Coast states of 
Louisiana, 
Mississippi, and 
Alabama in total ruins, especially 
the City of New Orleans, 
Baton Rouge and other coastal cities 
and sea resorts. It totally uprooted about a million people form their hearths 
and homes and forced them to take shelter in neighboring states after living and 
suffering under complete inhuman condition for about five days at their 
respective places. Ten thousand or more are still lying besieged in NO alone. It 
is presumed that most of them must be dead by the time. Now house to house search is going on. 
There was enormous amount of looting, theft, burglary, arson, rape and shooting 
in the affected areas and within the famous Superdome. There was no water, no 
food, no light, no shelter and no security to the affected thousands and 
thousands poor people, including children, old, sick and incapacitated. Area 
hospitals were the worst affected as there were no basic amenities available. 
The patients were dying and the doctors were watching them dying helplessly. One 
can well imagine how the people of 
Iraq are coping 
with the same unspeakable situation for the last so many years under the 
“control” of the same administration that is responsible for the miserable 
plight of the Gulf States in the 
USA...

It was all happening under the very nose of the 
mightiest superpower on earth. It is no doubt a natural disaster but human 
mistakes, negligence and inherent shortcomings of the system made it the worst 
human disaster of American history. Neither the people were ready nor their 
government to face the inevitable situation as grim realities with a stand-by 
comprehensive rescue plan even when it was known to all concern that the storm 
is going
