Outrageous Insensitivity

Via Reuters, World stunned as US struggles with Katrina.

What caught our eye is the following observation by a Sri Lankan idiot:

"I am absolutely disgusted. After the tsunami our people, even the ones who lost everything, wanted to help the others who were suffering," Sajeewa Chinthaka, 36, as he watched a cricket match in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

"Not a single tourist caught in the tsunami was mugged. Now with all this happening in the U.S. we can easily see where the civilized part of the world's population is."

Oh, yeah. Why don't you get your racist civil war under control before you go around accusing others of being less than civilized, Sajeewa.

And what about this BBC story: Criminals target tsunami victims

There are already reports of looting in many of the affected countries - with homes, shops and even dead bodies being targeted.

And in Sri Lanka, some of the disaster victims have allegedly been raped in refugee camps.

So much for civilization in Sri Lanka. How dare this fellow spout off as he did? And how dare Reuters put such garbage on its air?
