If anything in UID's post preceding is true, then this disaster is squarely laid at Bush's feet. People died, are dying, because of his blundering badly with the issues at hand.
Not the time? You're right, the time was several years ago. But now all we can do is shake our heads and help the survivors as best we can.
You know this has been an issue and underfunded for decades, right? Th whole Mississippi basin and gulf delta area is a flood plain. Whether flooding occure in Missouri, Tennessee, or Ohio the entire river area and those that feed it are flood plains. To admit flooding may be alleviated is one thing, but flooding would have happened. And they need to rebuild estuaruies and mangroves, and those take years to develop properly. i dispise Bush for te most part, but really every politician for the past 25-30 years need to shoulder some blame from Presidents to Congress.
But as Rob said screw the politics and help these people, but I might add that the rebuilding should really be debated, before they just start blindly rebuilding in such a precarious area...
