> Pattern Emerges in Katrina Lack of Response Stories

Some here will try to make excuses for FEMA, but the truth is that the levees in New Orleans was the responsibility of the federal government, they have voted consistently to underfund the projects that would have made all of the carnage preventable. After the fact billlions will now have to be spent anyway many more billions than would have been required in a prevention measure. Everyone of us will get the bill for the fact that we have allowed our federal government to short change our safety by squandering our resources on their oil adventures in Iraq and elsewhere.
Americans are responsible for this ultimately. They should have known better than to allow a power hungry warmonger oil baron to occupy the highest office in our country. It was predictable and to be expected that they would divert the money away from the security of the citizens in order to line their own pockets and reward their corporate friends with our tax money.
We give more money to Israel each year than would have been enough to prevent this disaster. I guess the citizens of Israel and their new homes and good lifestyle are more important than the lives of the citizens in the United States.
Our country was lost when Bush came into office and we will never get it back, we are all refugees now.
