In a hilarious BBC front page article, the most trusted name in news tackles a question with a seeming obvious answer in the headline "Chile earthquake: Why do people loot?":
"We understand your urgent suffering, but we also know that these are criminal acts that will not be tolerated," President Michelle Bachelet said on Tuesday, condemning the "pillage and criminality".
Wind back to 2003 and the then-US Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, was far more relaxed in his response to the looters of Baghdad.
"Freedom's untidy and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things," he said.
BBC expertly observes one of the biggest natural disasters in written history, the 8.8 earthquake in Chile and concludes: it wasn't this bad since Bush was president.
