help at last and too late
Wow! More than 300 passers by at this blog and two comments, one of which from my best friend. That says something, doesn't it?
It's like always when there are comments on the way this government we're talking about acts. If our govenment would have acted as slow as the american did, it would have put out of order immediately. Not only in the political way, or by journalists (like one american did here in an open letter).. Oh no!!! We would have called those who are rich and have helicopters and such and have them fly there and do what needs to be done.
It's interesting that food droppings started after a photographer started dropping water and food in the disaster area.
Ofcourse there's a lot too-doo on TV and in the papers about the remarks that help would have been quicker to the area if the people had been of a more lighter variety. I heard the nice Mrs. Mubbs Jones (if I remember her name well), and some politician, who found out that the white people had stayed at home whereas the black people had come to the dome.
Me oh my, that guy is clever!!
Well, finally the government of the USA has asked for aid: food from the NATO, (beware the biscuits might be overdue) and humanitarian aid from the European Union. Great acknowledgement at last.
And let's be stated very clearly, I hope now all those americans telling us over and over again how gratefull we should be for the help they gave at the final end of WW2, will finally keep silent. I'm sick of it, and I'm sick of being told how to act and to behave.
I've offered my help. I'm a grief counsellor, specialised in grief after the tragedy of loosing a baby. I'm also specialised in helping the professional helpers after disasters.
And many more people of my country have offered help, as did people from many more countries. And do you know that Afganistan, Iran, Cuba and other countries offered help too?
We cried when we saw your people dying, we were in agony with those mothers we had their children in their arms to die, while no cars were allowed over the bare streets, because no private help was allowed.
Will you sue our journalist who helped a baby and his aunt escape, clothed and fed them and brought them to their family? And will you ever say thank you for the help we have send even before we had any idea the disaster was that large??
Did you know that the native's prophecies fortold this all? And that the weatherpeople warned as much as they could, so the government should have been ready so they could send in aid with one push on a button?
I'm aware that many people have awakend from their lethargy and are helping now. The best ones by helping through real actions, others by donating a bit of money.
Well, these people need everything, so whatever you touch you know they need it.... |
