ok tw, don't get your panties in a bunch. i've asked it and you still haven't answered, really. What would you have done? when would you have done it? where would you have sent it? who would have done it? how much money should have been in the US gov'ts initial pledge? and also why would we do what you would suggest?

give me something to sway me to your viewpoint. something substantial that doesn't consist of "george, jr bad, mental midget dumb" don't you get it? i don't care who the devil the president is, if you are going to rip him up for his mistakes, give me a reasonable, alternate course of action that should have been followed based on information available at the time.

my sister was there, i was worried about her, but at no point in time did i think to myself that the US government should rush ships or planes there to help her and other americans. she(they) chose to go there, something completely unexpected happened and now it is time to sort through the aftermath. like all critical incidents it is a process to be worked through, not a set of events easily choreographed as in a movie.

edit: and BTW, would all cellarites that i regularly insult please raise your hands? *scans the room* garnet - put your nonmeat eating hand down, you don't count. TW, i've read more condescending, insulting posts from you than i am capable of composing, so give me a break on the whole "i don't listen to lookout 'cuz he insults everyone" bit. you are highly intelligent and an excellent researcher. i would enjoy going back and forth with you more if you would realize that your views are exactly that - views. you don't have the monopoly on The Truth. answer questions when they are asked of you. i disagree with your conclusions many times, but you don't have to view that as an affront to your manhood. we should be able to discuss issues without standing on our chairs and beating our chests or peeing on the other cellarite's shoes. debates are an exchange of ideas, not a statement of fact followed by clubbing anyone who questions us, like a baby seal.
