My deepest sympathies go out to the people of Central Asia for the horrible earthquake that has killed so many, and displaced many more. What a horrible nightmare. However, I must say that I am so glad that their governments are sending immediate aide unlike the government of the victims Katrina.
I feel deep sorrow for the victims of the Central Asian earthquake, although I am deeply grateful that they are not being treated as criminals for collecting food & water (as anyone in such a natural disaster would do), unlike the victims of Katrina.
I feel deep sorrow for the victims of the Central Asian earthquake but I am deeply grateful that their government did not treat the region as a war zone that they must secure before they sent in relief (food, water), unlike the victims of Katrina.
I am deeply saddened for the people of Central Asia, I wish I could end their suffering. But my heart is still on the floor for the victims of Katrina. Not completely for what has already been committed against them. Not completely for the unforeseeable pain that they have yet to endure in putting their lives back together. But also for the foreshadowing of what is to come for the rest of us.
I am not the same as I was before Katrina.
