Australia has donated US$8 million for relief in the worst natural disaster in United States history. We can't begin to thank you enough. Hurricane Katrina may make 9/11 pale in comparison when it is all said and done. For anyone who hasn't seen the details, New Orleans is mostly under water and the whole city is uninhabitable. Refugees stuck in the city are looting, raping, car jacking, and shooting indiscriminately. Many police officers have quite their postions as it is too dangerous to try to help.

It will be YEARS before anyone can live their again, IF EVER! A whole city of millions, gone overnight. I can't believe this is really happening. One idiot US senator opened his mouth and stated the city isn't worth re-building(probably the truth $-wise, but you don't say that now!)

The national guard has been dispatched with orders from the governor to shoot to kill. Of course, this was after they were able to round up some troops since so many were in Iraq! I hope this opens up some eyes in this country.
