Do you think they could wait until people are not hysterically looking for the bodies of their children, their parents, do you think they could wait until the bodies have been claimed and counted?

1. Same thing happened when we went to war after
9-11. My email was filling up with investment opportunities if we go to war even while Colin Powell was showing his cartoons to the UN and before we had sent one troop overseas.

I find this opportunism on the back of disaster disgusting.

Private search and rescue.

Greed waits for no one.

5. you are surprised capitalists have no souls?
They'd rather spend tons of money planning their own mausoleums than helping out a starving person.
