Helping Katrina Victims ... I Don't Understand

There are many things I don't understand about our world.

I don't understand why, today of all ages, disasters like this cannot be foretold in advance.

How can we create weapons capable of destroying the world many times over, but can do nothing about such disasters until it's too late?

Watching the media today, I don't understand why New Orleans mayor has to be pleading for help for the hurricane victims.

I don't understand why even after the hurricane people are still trapped in unbelievable circumstances.

I don't understand how the strongest army in the world cannot save these people.

I don't understand how human beings can kill one another and steal from one another in such crisis, even stopping the rescue efforts. And I don't understand, why they cannot be stopped.

I don't understand why, in such circumstances, hospitals under fire cannot be protected by a standing army.

I don't understand why doctors saving lives have to fear for their own lives, endangered by the mob.

I just don't understand.

How can we help these people and make this world just a little easier to understand?
