It does look like a warzone, awful.
Mixed messages from Bush yesterday,at first he was saying" The US can handle this on their own" but now they're asking for help from other countries. I hope people here can put their negative feelings about the US aside and donate some money.
Many have said that how the situation was handled in Thailand was a lot better than what is being done in the US. YIKES!!!And I don't know what's happpening with the govt.? Watching CNN, all I hear is how defensive the politicians are when they are asked about the problems of sending out help.
It's really scary!!!! Watching the news is like watching those disaster or end-of-the-world movies.
