Bad Omen?
Surely I'm not the only one who noticed that these two news stories came so close together.
First:
Investigators are examining whether human error was responsible for the mysterious tilt of a brand new Princess cruise ship that nearly caused a serious accident on Tuesday.
and then.....
Cruise ship departs Lebanon with more than 900 Americans

Amazing too how the cruise ships can manage to take hundreds out of Lebanon in a short amount of time but couldn't do the same for the victims of Katrina. Remember the cruise ship fiasco there? If you don't, it's probably because there were so many.
That's spot on, Debby.
Why are we more concerned with our "citizens" living in other countries? And I'm not talking about our foreign service people. Just curious.
There's no short answer, but for starters, the Bush Administration systematically undermined disaster relief in this country from day one.
