[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 48012"] Sorry about the link susie. It was working fine when I posted it. Check out the link opie posted to the National Geographic article concerning the storm/flood potentials down in the Delta area. When you first start reading you think it's a post Katrina article but then you realize it's prior too and that this event was a "not expected" event at all. This also isn't the first time the levees have been breached as in 1965' Hurrincane Betsy did so. As for the World Tribune article, you mean to tell me you aren't a dedicated loyal reader of the World Tribune? Man, it's up there with the Daily Planet! My point was only the fact that like some of our own religious leaders Islam also has it many fair share although right now the Islamic ones have taken a more radical approach the life in general. OK2BC, most movies out of Hollywood are lame to begin with! However Escape was moreso than many and I'll agree with you there but I hate to say it this is almost what NO is beginning to look like. My hat's off to UPS for starting a relief fund to help out UPS people and my check's in the mail and I'm already planning to send more. As for the gov't response, like many, I don't understand why things were done like they were. I've heard for example one problem was the local leaders wanted to run the relief efforts and the head hotshot at FEMA wanted to take all control. For gov't that sounds about right but more than that we should be looking at this situation real close and asking some very serious questions. What if some crisis developed on a national scale and these same people were calling the shots? It's not a democrat or republican issue, is a bureaucratic nightmare that is the issue. Gov't is not about helping people, it's about power and it's about themselves. This is exactly why I don't trust any of it and why I believe the less their is the more will get done. You watch private America over the coming weeks and months and you'll see the greatest and the very best the world has that will come out in droves to help them people now and into the future rebuild their lives.
