The hurricane that hit the southern United States has caused so much damage to cities and so much loss of life that it's almost impossible to imagine what it must be like for the unfortunate victims, who now have to come to terms with the fact that they have probably lost close friends or relatives along with their homes and everything they owned. It's another heartbreaking natural disaster bringing the human cost with it and I feel so sorry for the people affected by it.
President Geaoge W Bush has asked for international aid, money and help. NATO has been asked to help in the rescue efforts and people all over the United States of America have been raising, collecting and donating money to organisations that are providing some of the incoming aid.
While I appreciate that the money and aid is needed and it is imperitive that it is supplied to those who so desperately need it right now, without further delay. I also question if the United States, as a nation, will be able to have more sympathy for the countries that are currently and have been for many years, in similar conditions, even worse in some cases. Will they finally understand how much their help could make a difference in other countries ?
It may be the hardest way to learn, by having it happen to you, but it's better than never learning at all...
I hope the US government and citizens are able to limit their already collosal economic, and infinitely worse human losses; and I also hope they are now more willing to help others through finally understanding how hard it can be for them. It would be such a great shame on humanity if such an epic tragedy can pass us by without any lessons being learnt.
Do you think the United States will understand the plight of the countries who have been needing their help for so long, and perhaps do more to make a difference or will they still continue to treat them as they are doing now ?
