Look at the TV coverage.

Hmm...I'm thinking we have the source of the problem right here.

This is only difficult for the ones who expect instant gratification in time for the 6:00 news. Here's the deal - a monstrous earthquake took out the principal city in a country build on the French model of a central city that is the seat of government and outlying areas that are dependent upon it. There is a very small airport with a single strip operating. The roads from there to where the people are waiting are devastated. There is no magic wand here, only days of herculean work ahead. There is a world's worth of relief supplies choked by this bottleneck. It isn't the fault of the people trying to break through it. When they do so they'll be heroes that are sanctimoniously cursed by an ignorant world press for not doing so quickly enough.

Don't listen to the TV. If they're bleating about it, they're not carrying water in country. Less talk, more do, and we'll be just fine.

You cannot plan a comprehensive response to an earthquake. A plan presumes certain action but the earth quake has no idea what your plan may be and so your plan must be to respond as best you can as the situation develops. And then, when your response is not sufficient to the task you simply..............blame Bush.
