NopeNot really unfair. I'm not blaming the people who were left stranded there, although I do fail to see why it is any business of ours (apart from the 130 Brits, which we could have had airlifted out in less than 24 hours if we had known they were there).
You do need money to survive in America, that's right. However 250 million of the people there have it coming out of their arses. So, If they want to spunk it on wars in Iraq and missions to the moon, then I think it is unreasonable to ask anyone to bail themselves out of this particular pickle. Especially when you bear in mind the policies that the government -- that the general public voted in -- couldn't give a toss about the environmental issues that brought it about in the first place.
Hang on... Not to mention the government having neglected the region for... wait for it... 120 years!! Mark Twain was writing about problems with the levees there.)
I will be throwing absolutely no good money after bad in this farce. They bled us dry after the second world war, so fuck 'em.
