Thank you for sharing your viewpoints,even though I disagree with you.
It’s very imprudent to judge a government’s behavior by ideology.

I tried to be careful with my comment. I did not wish to minimize the severity of the disasters, nor did I wish to make political points using other people's deaths and misery.

But I think it is very important to be clear WHY certain disaster are massive in scale while others are managed successfully. I think government ideology is critically important in this. Millions have died from starvation, exposure, flooding, disease, etc. under communism and other tyrannical governments. There are few examples of this (if any) in free societies.

Ignoring history is also imprudent.
