I agree that this is a tragedy for the Amis, just as it was in Bangladesh was for the Bangledeshi. The Amis do not care what happens in the world unless interfering with it makes them rich or righteous. Or a combination thereof.
Personally, I would like to help as a professional law enforcement officer and volunteer firefighter. As a German, it is a small swath of destruction. But then, to be a tad sardonic - any one that lives in a city surrounded by synthetic barries holding back water is doomed to drown, and it is the tulimate arrogance of man in an attempt to circumvent the forces of nature. The Earth has survived for billions of years and will endure long after humanity has been wiped clean from its surface. - New Orleans should have been built somewhere else.
On a humanitarian level, the entire operation is a tad on the botched side. However, such is the way of things. Does the world care - no - should they, no. Do Amis think they should care -of course, because they are Amis. But alas, Amis rule the world until China and India decide they have had enough.
Perhaps....
As for the bodies, they should be retrieved and incinerated - allowing them to remain is hazardous and burrying them wastes space.
