It's human nature to want to blame someone
anyone besides God when something as horrifying at Katrina happens.

With the body count rising, more and more lives destroyed and the beloved, magical, wonderful city of New Orleans looking much like a scene from one of those disaster movies in which the world is destroyed... many people have turned their sites on our government.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin
who I have adored ever since I saw him standing next to Bush
wearing a t-shirt on which read DESIRE
has been quite vocal in his fight to save his city..
He clearly has been less then thrilled with the amount and the speed of the help he's recieved from the white house.

Just about everyone seems horrified with the job FEMA has done.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, has asked Bush on to appoint an independent national commission to examine the relief effort. Clinton also wants to oust FEMA from the Department of Homeland Security and restore its previous status as an independent agency with cabinet-level status.

Whoever you want to blame here, the fact is this relief effort has been a disaster.

FEMA has certainly seemed to be a hindrance and not a help in this terrible time.
HOW on earth could they turn away the three truck loads of water that Walmart sent?!
and fuel from the coast guard?!

The thousands of people who went to the super dome for relief would up, sick, dieing, raped,
starving, shot, dehydrated and needing to be saved from what was supposed to be their place of safety.

Help arrived late...not enough... and failed miserably...

So who dropped the ball here?

FEMA-- most certainly say yes

The White House--- local officials certainly say yes...

I don't know...
But what I do know is that there will be months and years to do investigations and studies and figure out who is to blame for this in-ept relief effort...but now is not the time..

Now is the time for action to save what is left of a vital part of our country sinking
in the quick sand..

send your prayers, your aid, your kindness, your money, your bodies
help however you can

tomorrow
or the next day
or the day after that

we can resume the blame game
