Well...that article was written about a week ago (it's dated Aug. 31st). A lot has changed in a week. Hell...a week ago the U.S. wasn't really offering any real aid to it's own people. Even CNN is reporting Vladmir Putin's offer to us if we ask (we won't). The paragraph at the very opening is defunct, too. In comparing Katrina to the Asian tsunami it fails to mention that even the country nailed the hardest by the tsunami, Sri Lanka, is offering us money.

I like how that article says repeatedly that we're more than capable of handling it ourselves, but somehow it ignores the fact that we didn't handle it ourselves and the whole thing became a huge and utter mess. But then again, like I said, it's about a week old. Regardless of who's to blame, I think we can all agree that Clinton was right when he went on TV and said that there needs to be an investigation of the failures. We dropped the ball big time.
