help for Katrina disaster
I saw on TV that a reporter said that america is always asked for help and that now america needs help, none offers help.
Well, let's be very clear: this lady is completely wrong.
Read here.
Our country was among the first to ask how much help was needed.
The helporganisations told that there was enough money.
So our government has send a marine ship that was stationed at Curacao in the hope this help will be accepted.
We also can send F16's, divers, identification teams, dyke-builders and others.
I feel very much for those in the disaster areas, those who died and are dying and their family outside the area.
And I don't understand why the Red Cross has send one person there..... only one! Whereas thousands all over the world are eager to help. But they're not allowed to come...
Why doesn't the american government send helicopters in in large quantities to drop medication, babyfood and normal food.
Don't tell me that they are hindered by those who are shooting at them...
They weren't hindered to pick up military in vietnam.....
Don't tell me that there are no baots to pick up people who are left in and on their houses to die. Plenty of rich americans have jaghts and even more have boats that are quite suitable to help.
I can't understand this.
When the floods hit our country bad in for instance 1953 help was there in no time, because everyone in the country did what needed to be done.
I remember some clearvoyant saying at the beginning of the year that there would be a situation in which the whole world could see that someone who wanted to be a worldleader was not even able to mobilise help for a little part of his own country.
Only a few weeks ago immense areas in the middle of europe were flooded.
Problem solved.... I'm not even sure if the american news brought it on TV.
Don't tell me that a country with so many more recourses and a well trained army isn't capable to help.
Well, no need to tell me that the disaster is taken with the same strange helplessness as always.
Blaming others not to help, but letting babies die....
Telling other countries no help is needed and not dropping medication for those in need.....
I just can't understand...... just can't!!!
So The Netherlands has send a marine ship.... accept that help.
We're doers,....
And we've offered our expertise in many areas..........
If your president can get in...
he should have taken thousands of helicopters and boats with aid...
This is negligence....
So better stop telling other countries in the world how to run their country....
run your own.....
