#1 Let us just pray that this horriffic tragedy also crushed OBL and his crew of murdering scum. Perhaps the Lord has done for mankind what a lot of good men have been so far unable to achieve so that some good comes of this.

#3 Eager to show it has learned from the slow responses to the Asia-Pacific tsunami and Hurricane Katrina,

Yeah, that's why he did it. It had absolutely nothing to do with humanitarian goodness of the American people. Where do they find the scum that reports for the NYT?

#7 OK, just what was the "slow" response to the tsunamis? As I recall, the US had ships -- with real, actual ability to resuce people, provide water and medical resources, etc. -- on the move within hours, while the UN spent weeks organizing meetings and bitching about US, India, and Australia having the gall to move without permission.

The Katrina silliness needs to be beaten out of the commentariat; we all know the stupidity there.

Damn, I hate the press.
