Victims of Pakistani Flood Angry Over Lack of Aid

Source: www.cbc.ca...

The United States do not have to monopoly on slow relief in disasters. *cough*Katrina*cough* It will not help with the level of angryness of population. I wish the aid will come soon to affected survivors.

So can anyone explain why Pakistan get's next to no media coverage yet the Haiti earthquake was all over the news for weeks? It has to be because giving it media coverage would give the American people sympathy for them, and TPTB can't have that.

My best guess would be the large diaspora from Haiti in the US.

So the world gets angry at the US and says we should stay out of other countries' business, and then they get angry at us and say we're not in their business enough?

Aside from the gov. relations between super powers and their proxies there are other local superpowers IN THAT REGION who can provide the aid with ease, but wont because of the petty games man playes against man like a chess game LMAO w/o out seeing who controlls the board.SMH..

Dear Flood Victims:
Our own States of Tennessee and Rhode Island and others got flooded repeatedly and severely, one hundred-year flooding, and got little media coverage. How many realize the oddity of tornadoes in Turkey? How many care that Tennessee is getting hit again? How many care that India had thousands of homes washed away? Our media did not inform people of these incidents.
I thought by now the World would realize the the US is being torn apart and economically destroyed, bankruptcy and foreclosures, severe unemployment, etc. People with Master's Degrees are driving trucks.
I would Love to help. The Media lies. The average income here is 30 thousand dollars, not 100 thousand. An average apartment costs at least 6,000 per year. Ours are 12,000. The average home costs 18,000 per year. Ours are 30,000.
We have a lot of laws that say we have to pay taxes, insurances, registrations, fees, etc. If not they take our house or car.
In other words, not many of us have money to send now.
I think Buffet and Gates, et. al. are supposed to be donating monies, I would address any articles you write to them.
I wish you love, and help, and pray for our world daily.
