"Considering the region has never experienced a hurricane, let alone a strong
one it is highly unlikely the loading facilities or platforms were constructed
to withstand the forces - both wave action and wind force - that they will
experience. Significant, damage will occur. How much long term damage, and the
volumes associated with it - can not be determined at this time."
This reminds me of another crisis that struck the country of Iran not so long ago. There was this bad earthquake in the city of Bam and many people were killed. There was a country that stepped up to help Iran, a country that honors and respects life and acts to help those who are suffering. I could go on, but I don't want to belabor the point. The point is that country was America. I bring this up to make this point, that while America isn't always as true to its values as it should be, it is founded on values that are strong and deserve to be respected. If we really were an evil nation, who only respected power we would not have extended our hand in aid to a country that we stand opposed to.
