People will die because New Orleans is fundamentally incapable of absorbing something like this and always has been. I'm not willing to lay what's about to happen at Nagin's feet even if he could have been more proactive. (But then I've had a soft spot for him ever since he endorsed Jindal in '03.)

Thank you for bringing some logic and reason to this thread.
Be sure to come back and defend him tomorrow if there are many deaths.
