Now tell me how so many organizations from the Red Cross, Unicef, and other nations are currently providing aid - if no one has been invited?

notice how none of those are US gov't organizations? If US military planes just started landing uninvited on foreign soil with supplies, wouldn't you be among the first complaining about US intrusion upon foreign soil?

Not only is India providing aid to its own people. India is also providing aid to Sri Lanka.

the USS Kitty Hawk and its task force would already be there. Where are they?

C5A and C17s would be landing for at least the second time with badly needed food, medicines, etc.

Five days later we finally realize that something like 5 million people (including many of our own people) are in desperate need of help. Why?

you're right, noone was paying attention at all.

do you realize that parts of thailand (phuket, patong) that we are seeing in news clips had people sitting on the beach sucking down margaritas the very next morning? if we had just immediately put planes in the air, they might not have taken supplies to the most appropriate locations.
GWB screws up enough that there is plenty to pick on, but to turn every stinking event in the world into a bush bash is just downright pathetic. what happened to you tw? did someone with a shiny new MBA kick sand in your face or steal your girlfriend once? why the blind hatred?
