[B]I truly feel for these people, and they definately need help. My only concern is that it took FOUR days to get help to the victims of Katrina, yet only TWO to help a separate country. How is that possible? Shouldn't we be continuing to help the victims we have here (many of whom are still homeless/jobless/etc.)?

Ahem... don't forget we already have an established presence in Afghanistan - it didn't take very long to task relief missions into Pakistan.
Major reason why it took four days for the Feds to get up off their ass during Katrina was because of the political turf battles that were going on behind the scenes. By the time they got themselves straightened out, New Orleans was already a bathtub.
