The problem with all the Haiyan outrage.

The problem with all the outrage is that the outraged people have never had to move hundreds of tons of goods hundreds of miles without the benefit of the pan philippine highway. This makes the outrage of slowness more of a gut reaction rather than an examination of the physical constraints that the men and women of the government/military have to deal with. As highlighted by Winnie Monsod. Did you really think you could have done better? If you did well you probably have a healthy self worth. What our nation needs to heal is a truth commission like post mortem for us to understand what we could have done better and what we did wrong. As an aside, Notice the lack of outrage from veterans of calamities far smaller than Haiyan. Mr Peque Gallaga/Mr Anderson do not forget the physical constraints. Mr President do not forget that sometimes people just need to know somebody is in charge.
