Afghanistan to give $100,000 for Katrina victims
This is the equivalent of 100 million from some Euroweane country.

It has been almost 4 years since the World Trade center incident, and nothing has been built there.

I don't think New Orleans will be up and running any time soon. The monetarily poor residents that have left have nothing left to come back to. They have no house and no job.

The people I feel sorry for are the people that have taken these others in. With nowhere to go to, they will have no motive to leave the hospitality that has been given to them. Hence, these people are going to be stuck with the victims for quite a long time. What is Texas going to do with all the people in the Astrodome?

Sad, but probably very true. Houston (and a lot of other cities) may soon learn the truth of the old adage about no good deed going unpunished. I'd really like to look back 5 years from now and have to admit I was wrong.
