Hurricane Katrina
I have been meaning to write an entry on this for days. For reasons I am not ready to get into, I just can’t seem to do it. In the meantime, I am reading and watching various blogs entries, news reports, and most of all photo montages from the devastated New Orleans area.
The Bush Administration as well as other federal agencies have been highly criticized for their slow response to help the displaced victims of Katrina.
For what it’s worth: I don’t think the response from American citizens would be any different. All I have seen is people desperate to help - in whatever way they can - organizing and getting the word out about what is needed, and how we can help.
My thought is this: If there were a major military base in the area, where hundreds or thousands of military families were affected by the hurricane - do you think the federal response would be any different?
