Talk in the US media about help and loads of resources being transported to Louisiana were obviously wrong, there was no delivery of medicaments, food, water and whatever until the fourth day after the disaster started. The mayor who dared to criticize the non-existant help and delivery of food, water etc. which is talked about all the time in the media is now called a whiner and a**hole, at the same time Bush is the man of the day. Sweden is still wondering why their ships and aircraft are not being requested by the US for help, they made the proposal a week ago.

I truly hope you know more about your country than you do about mine. The hurricane hit on Monday--they thought they bit the bullet, survived it as they did most hurricanes. The levees broke Tuesday. Food was coming in on Wednesday.
The MAYOR, whom is the first line of defense when his city is in trouble, and the GOVENOR, whom is the 2nd, did nothing cept whine. The school buses which were supposed to be used to transport ppl out, are STILL sitting parked at their orginal location.
The govenor didn't request the National Guard until Thursday or Friday.
There is no comparison between this and the 9/11 disaster that hit NY city, except for one thing. NY had a mayor and a govenor that knew what to do in an ermergency instead of expecting everyone else to handle it for them.
