I really cannot quite believe that it has taken so long to get aid to New Orleans and other areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Heaven forbid that Bush should land his bloody plane and get out and see the trouble these people are in. And then do something about it. More quickly than he has done.
Having spent a fair amount of time in Alabama, Florida, New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico I have experienced hurricanes and tornadoes more than I would have liked to. They are very frightening but I always felt they were sort of manageable, by which I suppose I mean survivable. Katrina has shown the full force of nature’s fury and so many of the least able residents in the area affected were caught up in it. This of course is bad enough but the lack of help and organisation to help those who did survive, well, there is no excuse. Really no excuse.
