It is a shame what is happening there but what about the homeless, poverty stricken in the US? People still have not gotten back to normal AT ALL over the flood we had here called Katrina. The US is not the social worker of the world. Let other countries get their feet wet. (no pun intended)
Why do all the same people digg all of your stories mrbabyman? that doesn't seem very fair that you can get 50+ diggs no matter what you post. Granted, this is current, unlike that horrible 75 things a man needs to know thing. how did that make it to the top? Someone isn't playing by the rules! http://exposingtheflock.blogspot.com/
nothing to see here move along. the photo is deceptive to the max. the latter "after the flood" picture was taken at a different time and/or intentionally darkened to make it look gloomy and elicit "oh noes" reactions.
Hopefully there's a special place in hell reserved for the military leaders of Myanmar for refusing to let aid into their country and letting tens of thousands die needlessly.
only difference between the two photos that i can see is that one is brown and has clouds, while the other is green and has no clouds. way to go. whoopie.
Does anybody remember a scrollling-type picture from the Banda Aceh damage in the 2004 tsunami? You could move your cursor left or right to expose damage over the picture. Post a link if you have it, please.
Looking at that I'd just think it is a different season and more cloudy. Hard to tell what kind of destruction really happened there from those images.
What is so sad is how they will not let foreign, UN/US aid into the country. We could have already had two hospital ships, two Marine MEUs and round the clock airdrops of supplies in the area... Believe it or not there is a HUGE push in the US military (from inside leadership) to begin using our Navy more and more as a humanitarian aid force, like we've done in the Philipines, and Indonesia. Sad. So Sad. up to 2 million people homeless.
