RENTAL SUPERMAN
These days we have been silent witnesses of the power of nature. New Orleans in southern United States, has suffered an unprecedented test in the history of the world power. Hurricane Katrina has taught not only the buildings and lives of a segment of society most delayed of the nation, but also the pride of those who have put their safety where it is not: wealth.
Hurricane Katrina was a large tropical cyclone that hit southern and central United States in August 2005. Caused extensive damage in Florida, Bahamas, Louisiana and Mississippi, including extensive material damage and severe flooding. Landfall on the Louisiana coast on August 29, become a Category 4 hurricane, and although at the last moment veered slightly from its route that passed directly through the city of New Orleans, there was widespread destruction in the same and surrounding areas. For damage, he became one of the strongest hurricanes in the U.S. in recent history, and perhaps the greatest natural disaster in U.S. history. Katrina is the fourth hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season of 2005.
As we look through the years as the United States, which has dubbed itself as the guarantor of freedom and "saviors of injustice" present in the world, but care deeply called to suffer as their own citizens, torments of a big test, have not been able to respond to the pain of those who are right there .. However, as a vital contradiction, we see the power of military and military technological resources are scattered throughout the world to defend causes that are not entirely fair or justified. We see this power imposes its criteria, putting sanctions and punishments on those who do not respond at will.
seems that the hero "Super Man", with which all children grow up one day on vacation. Yes, I think it's a blow not beloved by good men, but need to beat the giant has put its security in its economic model and its "superiority" and not on what is fundamental: God.
"No one gives what is or is not found, America can no longer rely on its power if it has not helped to ease the pain of their own, can not be saving the world, but is capable of save himself.
Pride is a sin that hardens the heart to the point of not recognizing the good, noble, right, present in the other, turning them all as potential enemies. It is the beginning of the decline of a model that dehumanizes and makes you lose the way of true happiness.
I am confident that America will know, to answer wisely, to the provision of the 1100 Cuban doctors provided by Fidel Castro to respond and mitigate the pain of the suffering and not responding again proudly thinking petty interests, jeopardizing the well- of the poor and forgotten, who have not felt the solidarity of their own fellow Americans.
