No food, no water, and people falling over dead at the Superdome in New
Orleans, and the mighty U.S. military can't figure out a way to get
there with supplies RIGHT NOW?

Is it because our best assets are being wasted in Iraq? Is it because
we're stupid?

It ain't rocket science. It is three days after the hurricane, and
we're not doing any better for those in the most need than the
government of Bangladesh might do?

Two days ago, there was a huge convoy of trucks that left Canada with relief
supplies for New Orleans. That convoy arrived today in Louisiana. This
is a group of Mennonite farmers from Ontario that has for years had a
warehouse of supplies, ready, in case of need. This same group of very
simple people sent many containers of relief supplies to Thailand after the
Tsunami.
