    A 6.3 quake doing that much damage is incredible.

    The 2004 Tsunami killed 230,000 people in Asia. And now this..

    Hard to believe that there aren't people on the news blaming Bush and his administration. I mean hell... natural disasters are stoppable, aren't they? That's what we learned last August. It's someone elses fault.

    (sorry, I'm in a mood).



    Seriously speaking, why is it that a 6.3 does structural damage in the US and nearly no one dies, yet in a place where they live in grass huts, shacks and 1 level rambler-style homes, 4000 people die?

    I don't get it.

    Don't worry, somehow this will be the fault of the USA. Pathetic.

    Leave it to a Republican to turn this post into a politics debate. Incredible.

    No doubt ATLien, and we were heavily criticsized for making Katrina political by backing Kanye West on this forum when he made his statements. I guess it's only wrong to do it if you disagree with the statement being made.


    On the flip side it is kinda funny because there will be a few who will blame Bush and his puppet masters. As much as I dislike and distrust him, some do go overboard.


    And most importantly, my prayers and thoughts go out to the regions affected.
