Is This the Way the Rest of the World See Us?

I sent this out this afternoon to my personal e-mail list and I received the following response from Peter who use to post here







This is fairly long but a great salute to New Yorkers and what needs to be done and what has been.

Look for "Letters from ground zero IV"
(PLEASE READ THE ABOVE FIRST!)
 
I will send Peter any comments you would like to make to him.

Don't USA Americans realise how totally ridiculous they look to the rest
of the world? Whole cities and their infrastructure have been, and are
being totally destroyed throughout the Middle East by American bombs.
Governments have been overthrown and vile civil wars ensued because of
USA meddling, murdering and sending in CIA assassination squads.
Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians have been and are being
killed by USA drones and bombs and worse. Citizens of some cities have
been without water, sewerage, electricity for years thanks to USA
petroleum wars… and yet these people survive without complaining. The
hurricanes and floods in Queensland were much worse than the recent
storm in the USA, but we cleaned up in a few weeks and got on with our
lives - Americans still haven't cleaned up after Katrina! They're still
moaning. The whole world had to know about 'Sandy' as if because there
was a bit of a flood in mighty USA the universe was about to collapse.
No one here can believe that after a week there are still thousands
without electricity, that you guys can't get your arses into gear and
fix anything! It really is pathetic to watch the most militarily
powerful country, weeping and wailing because something a little bit bad
has happened to them. Have they even completed the Twin towers
replacement after eleven years? No wonder USA society and economy is on
the brink of total collapse. All you guys know how to do is go to war
and kill everyone who doesn't do as you want them to. 

You can post this if you want.

A bit extreme, I think.

bloody hell mate wonder what he was on when he wrote this .
Australia felt deeply for those involved in both Katrina and Sandy we even sent Firefighters over there to help in your bushfire disaster last year.
Floods in Queensland was a disaster and after the event the people worked to get over it by pulling together with govenment help and donations from fellow aussies.
I'M sure fellow americans will do the same thing
