I was listening to NPR tonight and a guy said that 'proportionately,' this is equivalent to Katrina killing the entire state of Louisiana.

Call a Rotarian! Thanks, Scott. I am stll trying to wrap my head around the enormity of what has happened. This is MUCH bigger than Katrina. I wonder how we Americans would react to a disaster of this scale in a city that has almost three million people in it. Mark Pearson, who was one of the first on the ground after the Indian Ocean Tsunami, said: ‘This is worse than the tsunami. It's utter chaos at the airport. Buildings have been completely destroyed, the hospital has been destroyed. It's a full scale emergency, there's so much destruction.
‘The priority at the moment is search and rescue and then after that emergency shelter provision, so obviously there's frustration. There's no fuel and people are hunting for water. It's difficult to but the scale of destruction into words.'

True enough. Though that should be wars, plural. I don't regard Afghanistan as necessary, either, despite my early hesitations on the subject. Nothing we can do there to help our security here.
