World stunned as US struggles with Katrina - Yahoo! News
World stunned as US struggles with Katrina - Yahoo! News: "'Anarchy in the USA' declared Britain's best-selling newspaper The Sun.
'Apocalypse Now' headlined Germany's Handelsblatt daily.
The pictures of the catastrophe -- which has killed hundreds and possibly thousands -- have evoked memories of crises in the world's poorest nations such as last year's tsunami in Asia, which left more than 230,000 people dead or missing.
But some view the response to those disasters more favorably than the lawless aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
'I am absolutely disgusted. After the tsunami our people, even the ones who lost everything, wanted to help the others who were suffering,' said Sajeewa Chinthaka, 36, as he watched a cricket match in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
'Not a single tourist caught in the tsunami was mugged. Now with all this happening in the U.S. we can easily see where the civilized part of the world's population is.'"
