If I understand the first question correctly, I don't think Bush's reputation is a basis for helping these people. Obviously, the people need help regardless. The message I intended to convey was that, as in the 9/11 situation, that if the rescue efforts are coordinated well and people get help, Bush will look good. Right now on CNN, they interviewed a man who just thanked the President for getting buses into New Orleans and getting him to safety to Houston. Obviously, Bush had nothing to do with getting him out of Louisiana. But that's just how people feel.

In regards to foreign policy, I think it can change in the future, but not under the Bush regime. 50% of the country didn't want to keep this President in the last election, and the greater part of the world disapproves of what he has done throughout the world. Let's get back to this question in 2008 when we have someone in office that the rest of the world can trust.

Once again, I am not a Bush supporter. I was just trying to take a relatively neutral viewpoint. I strongly disapprove of the Iraq situation, and I would definitely like someone else in office right now. But we are stuck with Bush for now, and therefore, I'm not going to openly bash a President that's not going anywhere for the next 3 years. What good does it do to rip the guy on this message board? He is taking enough of a hit right now by not dropping a few sandwiches and bottles of water to the 25,000 people stranded outside the Superdome. This rescue effort is obviously being botched as we speak, so let's just watch this unfold. But I guess it's a lot easier to be critical sitting here in sunny California, rather than in Washington.

Lastly, I'm hearing there are civilian snipers outside a hospital disabling the evacuation of sick patients. What the fuck is wrong with people?
