Raghuntah Malaysia says:

This world urgently needs the implementation of absolutely draconian laws against those that harm the environment. BP and other oil companies seems pretty much adept at taking oil out of nature's bowels. But when she bleeds, they struggle to cap it. How stupid can they be? The moment the oil started gushing out BP should have scenarioed the ramifications against the coastline, ocean and dependant livelihoods in a day or two. And of course discuss the measures, what will work and what would not. Instead they were busy deflecting blame, bickering and gress who pays the price. But will governments arrest these people behind the company and throw away the key? Not when campaign funds are involved!
