I didn't hear Lee say that Bush or anyone blew up the levees. Actually, I didn't hear him say much of anything. That POV (which has been expressed by many people all over the world since the levees first broke) was discussed by some of the people asked to speak in the documentary. - just to help get the facts right.

Most authors/painters/directors/photographers and the like have a certain niche or genre that they focus on. Why would this particular movie director be any different?

Yes u can make people leave. They do it all the time when an evacuation is ordered. Police do sweeps, anyone found still there is arrested and/or removed. Hell, if it's legal to bust down my door, drag me out, and arrest me with no warrant in the name of national security, then I think they can do the same thing in the name of the security for citizens. The east coast has been warned that a major hurricane could hit causing massive destruction. Again, they've done their studies and found out how difficult it will be to get NYC people to leave their homes and that most don't have the resources (ie, cars) anyway. And again, NO PLANS have been made. Listen, I agree that people should've evacuated. I know I would've (even though there was no place to evacuate to). But they didn't, they needed help, and where was the gov't.

The 3 top threats to our nation - a terror attack on NY, hurricane in N.O., and a earthquake in San Fran. 2 down and the gov't sat on their asses for both. I guess some people will wait till we're 3 for 0 before they start to care. Or maybe when it affects them, happens in their neck of the woods they'll care. It was a complete failure of gov't from the bottom up. The feds are supposed to step in when city and state fails, that's what the hell they're there for. Otherwise, there would be no need for us to be a united nation. Fuck the gov't indeed, but I pay my taxes for a reason and I'm tired of not seeing a return on my investment.
