There is no clear enemy to point the finger at. No obvious response to this tragedy. This is where we need a real leader. And, this is where Bush will fail.
That was beautiful man. A real work. I wont touch the 911 part because it is not for this thread. But you are really right on and if this thread went anywhere, this is it. WAY COOL.

I donā??t mean that Bush may fail, but your analysis is fucking right on. Damn dude. I got these pictures online that are horrible. They show that whole city under water, like there is no coming back for months to this place. The work to clean up that area will make NYC look like a cakewalk. You are so right on there. Go to this site and take a look at the pics, I am not sure what the USA has for its people to digest but this is a spy site so it has some interesting things http://cryptome.org/ this guy is amazing at exposure and those pictures show what you are saying. It is horrifying.

There was a document somewhere about a similar flood before the government changed and the people did things for themselves. I have to dig it out and post it. But I hope the people take control and do it, this is not something a government can do, too much corruption. When I see these pictures even the Tsunami was nothing. New Orleans is wiped out basically. A whole US city. It is serious. So, this lament at the beginning, and here is all valid.

We can actually just hope that the people do it and get the credit. I am not really depressed. Shit, it is so sad. You are right, that is a lot of people out of homes for a long time. They are already saying at least 4 months before it can come back.
