The scenes of the Hurricane Katrina disaster are beyond horrific. As they play across our television screens, they look more like the pictures of last December's Southwest Asia tsunami than anything we've ever seen in America. No one can even collect the dead, because an increasingly desperate search for the living goes on into the night. As the Red Cross and FEMA organize disaster relief, and as Americans reach into their hearts and their pockets to donate to help fellow Americans, there is another part of America working hard.

There is one thing the tsunami and Katrina have in common: our armed services -- including the National Guard -- are doing what no other force in the world can do, bringing rescue and relief to those most in need. And somehow, the Big Dogs again came running without the help or supervision of the U.N., France, Germany or Belgium.

Really nothing to add to this point is there?
