I am really sorry that people are suffering down there. BUT I AM REALLY SADDENED BY THE FACT THAT WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE PATIENCE.

Patience??? What patience? People are DYING, many everyday, and you are speaking of PATIENCE? My GOSH! I'd like to see what you'd do if you were in the situation of those suffering, those seeing dead bodies floating around them, and more people dying...those who haven't eaten all week, those who are getting terrible illnesses from the water. And you speak of PATIENCE? The world's richest country, and we couldn't drop food to the victims by helipoters from day 1. Sorry, but we should feel ashamed of ourselves as a country. These are OUR people. OUR own American people. We need to do more. WAY more. And you are saying we need patience? LORD. The reporters are crying along with the people. That is the intensity of the situation. I have NEVER seen reporters cry. And you speak of patience. Patience? This is not something to take easy. It is a disaster so great it has made that region of the US worse than a 3rd world country. You don't realize how many lives are being lost?? Sheesh...While we're patient, let another million people that could have been saved perish.
