Perhaps the victims of hurricane Katrina, many still displaced after more than a year, should trade in FEMA for Hezbollah ( also known as Hizbollah and Hizbu’llah ). Within days of the ceasefire, the so-called terrorist organization Hezbollah is handing out cash to all households that lost their homes to Israel’s bombs.

The group has handed out wads of cash - $12,000 in US banknotes - to hundreds of displaced families in Beirut’s shattered suburbs, and says it will continue distributing funds throughout the country, according to Reuters in an article entitled Lebanese begin rebuilding lives shattered by war By Michael Winfrey

Maybe FEMA should send a delegation to Lebanon to work with Hezbollah and learn the secret of their quick response.

Listen to the horrifying blasts of Israeli bombs exploding in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. This video is from msoubra who says that, “It brings back haunting memories from the 82 Israeli invasion of Beirut - I was then only 4 years old - But the lasting impact of these blasts has never left me.. For those lucky enough to have not experienced a war during their lifetime, it may appear to you that you understand all about it by watching CNN, BBC, or reading the papers.. This video is an attempt to give you a more realistic sense of how terrifying a war can be on innocent civilians.. and kids, just like me, 24 years ago.”
