So, because your mayor fails you, it's OK for your country to fail you too?

Failed?

Did anyone starve? Did anyone die of dehydration?

Where was the damn Louisiana National Guard?

A relief effort of that magnitude takes time, even under ideal conditions.
That's why Bush asked Blanco and the Mayor on the Friday before the storm to
implement a mandatory evacuation. Mayor Nagin waited until Sunday to order
the mandatory evacuation...and then never used the buses at his disposal to
get the people out.


With rising flood waters, 80% of the roads impassable even one week after
the hurricane struck, and armed thugs shooting at police and relief workers,
it's amazing that the relief effort is able to do anything at all.

I guess in this case, the mayor lowered the bar even further than Bush
himself could have, so everything's fine this way.
