At least it's better than a few years ago when the Left was screaming that the US was "occupying" New Orleans.Update: Meanwhile, a University of Washington psychologist is wringing his hands over the mental impact of the earthquake and calls for "early intervention with the psychological trauma".
This reminds me of earlier disasters in Africa where psychologists with a straight face were saying that three-quarters of the population were suffering from post-traumatic stress disorders or shooting incidents in the United States where "counselors" were virtually parachuted in before the bleeding was staunched. Clearly, it's never too early to divert scarce resources from rescue efforts when you can waste them on soft-science "intervention" that can turn a passing tragedy into a life-long torment.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
