I sure hope it is. I agree with all those who are tired of carrying everyone else along. American government (yes, I'm aware I'm generalizing) is pompous and arrogant. "You're either with us or against us." Riiiight. Where is option 'C'? Some countries just don't care. The Mayor of Atlantis (oh, sorry, New Orleans) is screaming "Get down your asses down here and fix this". Literally. Um, "Hi! You were warned long before that this was going to happen and didn't do anything about it. Remember that?!" Sorry, I'm a little jaded and upset that so many in government positions that keep popping up on television are making excuses for their lack of proactivity. People are dying because of lack of preparation--their own and that of their government. Many Americans are quick to pick up a cause when they see things happening around the world, but how many really believe that we're not immune to it? A la "That's so sad, thank goodness ________ won't ever happen here."
We are America. Hear us roar. We will kick you out if you make a stink about anything, you.. you... you... Foreigners! But you'd better help us when we're in hot water! Welcome to reality, America.
