I think the time for finger pointing and pinning the blame on individuals, state gov., fed. gov is over. Mistakes were made...most of which were probably preventable. However, now that we're aware of what went wrong...let's learn from the mistakes which were made to ensure that something like this doesn't happen again.
To be honest, it shouldn't have happened....not after 9/11...we should be more prepared for attacks on our homeland, whether it be because of a terrorist or a hurricane. I'm angered by what occured, and also pretty concerned about the message our un-preparedness sends to other countries, terrorists, and most importantly...the citizens of the United States.
However, we can't turn back time and change what occurred. Expending energy fighting over whose to blame does no good after a while...that energy should be spent righting the wrongs...making things better now.
There is alot of good that is being done to help the people of New Orleans and the surrounding areas...it seems to get over-shadowed by all of the bad.
