Really weird logic. Jim is so proud of US Katrina response. A 3rd
world Response from the richest country in the world.
Here is a quote from a post cut from Utube.
Why do the media constantly compare the rescue and relief operations
between China and Myanmar? Let's compare China with the US:
In China, an earthquake that registered 8.0 struck with no warning.
The Premier was on the plane to the disaster centre 90 minutes later
to co-ordinate the rescue and relief effort; local, provincial and
national and military authorities immediately ordered an all-out
rescuing effort, no arguments, no buck passing. Air****ts and buildings
were evacuated in little over 30 minutes and police and emergency
workers swung into action at about the same time. Soldiers poured into
the diaster sites by planes, trucks and, where the roads were damaged,
by walking for hours. Victims helped themselves and others where they
could; everything was orderly; no chaos, no looting, no crimes and no
unreasonable demands, knowing at times of crisis, action,
understanding and unity is the best for all.
In the US, a hurricane struck after 48 hours warning. The President
reluctantly terminated his holidays one and a half days after the
diaster struck; the Secretary of States was seen in New York shopping
for designer shoes while people waited for help. Rescue and relief
efforts were slow and ineffective. The state Governor blames the
Federal and the Federal blames the state; the mayor blames everybody
else. Four days after the diaster, troops armed to the teeth appeared
on the street in their Humvees, not there to rescue anybody but to
maintain law and order and shoot looters. Many police officers wanted
to quit or retire early.
I hope this diaster will prompt some in the west who have long hold a
deep bias and prejudice against China to rethink. Is democracy a be
all, end all thing? If not, let China evolve by its own accord and in
its own pace.
