It is really hard to remain objective after having seen what everyone has seen on TV.....on one hand the rescue machine has failed. It is simply unacceptable that the core of the rescue effort kicked in 4 (FOUR) days after the storm.
On the other hand what has been going on in the town in those 4 days is beyond belief. Killings, looting, rapes..... this is the other major weakness of the system that surfaced in this tragedy: social impairness has reached its highest level.
Heads will surely roll after responsibilites will be allocated. This however is just the surface. America, its politicians, its people need to address the Country's social problems without further delays.
Its not only about financial relief and rebuilding. The social backbone of the Country needs to be rebuilt and education has to be the main focus and milestone upon which this recontruction efforts shall begin.
Most of the victims (as well as the killers, looters, rapists) not only belong to the lower and poorer classes. They appear to be borderline with illiteracy, let alone any other form of education.
Any modern society is doomed to fail if it doesn't invest in providing education to its people. This will be the real challenge. |

If they can make it in Diego its a step up in class, what a beautiful city. Hell, the weather alone is worth the change, I just hope they can find jobs for the new "citizens". |
