I believe the Tsunami already demonstrated the incompetence of some Muslim countries to handle a natural disaster. I remember all the complaining about how little the US was helping them even though we absolutely lead the relief effort head and shoulders above the rest of the world. I recommend we renig on our $$ for the Tsunami and use it for Katrina relief efforts. Think they'll start screaming?

Maybe a little off point, but my concern is that they will see the disruption of the hurricane, and plan their next WMD attack on the US one week after the enxt natural disaster...

The eerie parallels between the Arab America-haters and their Democrat allies aside, they're condemning America for being "powerless" in the face of the worst storm in a decade? If a sandstorm blows the thatch off one of their huts, it takes them a month and six fatwas to repair the damage.

Instructive, isn't it, that the Arabs seek to find legitimacy and reinforcement in the misfortune of others? I can't imagine commentators from ANY part of the world responding in this manner following the devastating Iranian earthquake of several years ago, or the tsunami in Indonesia. Are these people capable of feeling any emotion other than hate and revenge? I wonder.

Ah, yes. The Great Satan is impotent in the face of a natural disaster.

Big deal.

Reminds me about the joke about the two hikers being chased down by a grizzly, when one of them stops and takes off his shoes...the other hiker looks at him incredulously, and says "What the heck are you doing?" The hiker taking off his shoes says, I can run faster without them. The dumbfounded hiker says "That's crazy! That can't possibly make you run faster than the bear!" As the barefoot hiker takes off, he says "Hey, I don't have to outrun a bear, I just have to outrun YOU!"

Likewise, we just have to deal with natural disasters as best we can, but...when it comes to people like these Jihadists...

All we have to do is make sure those JDAMS work like they are supposed to, and we will be okay!
