What Hurricane Katrina Taught Me

5. Imagine being an Iraqi in Baghdad experiencing "Shock and Awe".

Watching your city being destroyed, knowing that foreign armies are now swarming in on all borders with tanks, helicopters, cruise missiles, an entire nation-busting arsenal that knows no bounds, no law except force.
Knowing that it won't end, because the invaders have no care for you or your culture or any of the culture you were born to, and they have absolute power.
Knowing that they profit from your loss.

Imagine how that Iraqi must be reminiscing today, all those years later, knowing that the invader hasn't finished yet.
