Chalk up another one for Bush and Co.

So as if screwing up New Orleans wasn't enough, now our government got shown up by India, who prevailed in a similar situation. Not to say anything is wrong with India, but if they can save 140,000 of their people, why shouldn't we be able to?

In case you don't know, here are the details.

India got massive rains and flooding today. According to this article, "helicopters plucked people from danger in the worst hit areas of Andhra Pradesh state and delivered thousands of tons of food, medicine and blankets to camps for the displaced."

"Relief workers evacuated more than 140,000 residents of low-lying villages to 465 relief camps set up in government buildings and schools located on higher ground."

Two rivers "breached their banks at several places, flooding farms. Floods demolished more than 77,000 homes and damaged another 7,800 homes."

"The surging waters washed away or damaged 254,000 acres of tobacco, rice and vegetable fields".

Sounds pretty bad. So why did we have people dying in New Orleans three days later?
