When the World Dials 911

Disaster strikes a world away
We get the call, what do we say?
We move at once, to ease their plight,
To aid them through their darkest night.
But come shrill cries from carping Press,
That’s not enough to fix this mess.
We know that, fools, but give us room,
To counter Mother Nature’s doom.

America gives to those in need,
With no regard to faith or creed.
We’re there for all when need is great
A helping hand to any state,
That’s fallen under Nature’s wrath
And needs a lift back to the path.
So what they may have mocked our ways?
We’ll turn our cheek ‘til better days.

But there are those who hate us so,
They’ll carp and snipe and hit us low,
Who’ll bend disaster to their needs,
And try to choke us on our deeds.
They’ll play their dirty liberal tricks,
For them it’s only politics.
In the face of massive human pain,
They only think of their own gain.

But the world knows sure whom it must call,
When disaster strikes, when nations fall.
America is the beaming light
That fades, dispels disaster’s night,
And standing firm provides relief
To salve the pain, allay the grief.
So to Hell with what our critics say,
America’s fine, still leads the way.

And the beat goes on and on. (Click here for some background.)  The U.S. and her allies continue to do the work and the U.N. continues to hold meetings and try to claim the credit. Click here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here for a taste of what the MSM isn't bothering to tell you. Could it be they just don't want you to know the truth?

There's an old saying that every dark cloud has a silver lining. Some times it's a lot harder to see it than others. If there's one in this case, it's the fact that the world is getting a golden opportunity to see how useless the U.N. is in a crisis and what the U.S. is capable of when we don't piddle around waiting for permission to do what needs done. Maybe some people will learn something from that.
