What's worse, a natural disaster killing 21,000 or an avoidable attack

[lebkuchen]

on a country that had done nothing to the attacker, killing at least 100,000 people, not including the ten years of sanctions the attacking country had imposed?

That is my response to any RWer feigning sympathy for those countries bordering the Indian Ocean, not that they are capable of even faking sympathy let alone being capable of the real kind.

I would like to know how much Bush sent to Iran after its disastrous earthquake. I don´t think it was higher than $100,000.

1. Bush IS a natural disaster, isn't he

[lebkuchen]

2. What does Bush's "compassion" tell him we must contribute

to this latest disaster?

There will have been many British, Aussie, continental European and American lives lost. Will he at least send a sympathy card, handsigned, to the heads of state?

3. Following years and years of spreading hatred for New York,

the right-wingers were all boo-hoo-hoo after the 9/11 attack.

It was outrage over anyone's daring to mess with "their" turf they were expressing, not sorrow for what had happened.

Their glee over "Shock and Awe" and the death of thousands of innocent Iraqis pretty well tells the tale.

And we wonder why we are hated.

4. The 10 years of sanctions is more like 12 now.

The sanctions were placed by the bush family after the gulf war, and the bush family has prosecuted an illegal war to profit business partners today.

Either way, the deaths, maimings, and sufferings of the Iraqi's have not inflicted by America. They are an atrocity committed by the bush family.

6. Inflicted by the Bush family with no real concern on behalf of the US

and that includes the Clinton administration. Clinton had his chance to change this policy. He chose not to.

It will be interesting to see how the world reacts when the Bushies level another Iraqi city, killing tens of thousands more, or if they invade Iran or Syria, in light of the devastation nature has already place on a large part of the world.

As if natural calamities weren't enough for a relatively poverty stricken planet to deal with, Bush has to create his own, on purpose. It's criminal.

5. It would be really interesting to find out how much help the rich

fundamentalist ministers have contributed to the victims of the natural disasters in S and SE Asia.I am sure they cannot muster any compassion for the civilian victims of Iraq because they are all "terrorists" any way.

7. The death toll of the quake could reach 100,00 yet /nt

[lebkuchen]

8. Bush has no problem with those numbers

He sure as hell isn't going to shed a tear.
