My wife and I are donating to the New Orleans Hurricane Katrina relief fund. This disaster is probably the largest of its kind on US soil. I believe that our donation will truly be put to good use. However, I am both angry and saddened that we have spent more than $191 billion on the war in Iraq and now the Administration is calling on us as Americans to help ourselves. Apparently there isn’t enough aid to go around to help the devastated victims of New Orleans, due to the frivolous spending of the Administration. To add insult to injury, the Marines that are currently stationed in Iraq, could have been deployed to the scene to distrubute aid, emergency servcies and quell looting. Gas prices are now going up due to a major disaster in our own land. I beleive the Adminstration will have no choice but to focus fully on our own country.
