A question of priorities

Only two days after the disaster, the US government dispatched military assistance to help victims of the horrific earthquake in Pakistani-administered Kashmir. I wonder why the president was significantly more decisive in helping Pakistanis deal with their natural disaster than he was in helping Louisianans. Maybe if Osama had been hiding out in the French Quarter... Then again, much of our military equipment is over in that neighborhood anyway.


Want to help? Donate to Doctors Without Borders or a similar humanitarian organization..
