I wonder if you did a comparison between the response time for this cyclone and Katrina what you'd find out.

  You'd find out that the local government in Myanmar isn't as incompetent as that of Ray "Chocolate City" Nagin.
  You would also find out that the bureaucracy and sheer amount of rules involved makes handling disasters overseas much easier than handling our own. We don't have to go through chain of command over there.
  Neg away all you want, but I have talked to Gov. Harris' Chief of Staff during Katrina, you haven't. I have talked to performance auditors in LA, you haven't.
  Katrina made us realize just how sluggist our response system is due to too much regulations and paperwork.

  Do you even realize what a ridiculous statement that is?

    I just said it'd be interesting to do the comparison. I never implied it was handled poorly or properly.

  It would not be a true comparison. The military in control of the country is the hold up. You would be comparing apple with oranges
