I don't update this blog much, mostly because I have other things to do. But the Katrina aftermath has me very upset.
How is this political? Simple. We don't have resources thanks to a certain idoit squandering them.
This is the text of a letter I just wrote to the White House, that I know will never get read by them:
People are dying in the streets, the images are too horrific to watch. Rather than getting better it just gets worse. The equipment we should have in place is far away.
Dear Mr. President,
The death, panic and utter lawlessness in New Orleans is your own doing. This country does not have the military personnel to send in there at this time of need because they are fighting a war of choice in Iraq.
We, the people of this nation, knew this war was bad from the start. We knew you lied to us about WMD and the true threat to our freedom, we knew you lied about this being a war against terrorists. You made this choice. This is your consequence.
People are dying, children are hungry, chaos reigns. This is your legacy, this is how history will remember your administration.
I hope you're proud of what you created.
