My turn I guess. I would like to say that I was not talking about anyone on here in particular when I stated that I was tired of hearing about the other countries who thought their people should have been evac first. I agree with lostfaith that if the buses were taken from the tourists to rescue someone who was elderly,young or sick then they should go before the tourists. If the tourists fit in that catagory then they should also be taken out first. It is very sad that the Aussies were being tormented and people were seeking them out to hurt them but they are not the minority here. There were other people who were also tormented. My post was to state that we were not to go and find only tourists so that we could keep the peace with other countries. For you to say that we believe that American lives are more important than people from other countries shows that you know nothing about us. Who is the first to come to the aid of other countries? We are. I also agree about the bold YOUR. Doesn't look good in our eyes. I am sorry your people were left to fend for themselves but so were ours. The Mandatory Evacuation was for people who could find their own means to get out of the city. That would include all of our people. They had no bus plans to remove people before the *advertiser censored* hit the fan. People had to pay for them themselves.
