Crisis in America

Have you noticed in the last couple of years how many crises there have been here in the U.S.? The fires in California, hurricane Katrina, flooding in the Northwest...why is the country that at one time raced around the world saving others, now so incapable of saving ourselves?

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that over the past 4 to 5 years we've spent over 400 billion dollars to wage a war in the Mid-East that we don't need, and nearly no one in this country wants. Imagine how much better this country could be prepared for disaster emergencies if we were to spend that money on improving the infra-structure of this nation. American tax dollars are being poured into other nations coffers, and the pockets of C.E.O.'s of defense contractors.
