We're talking about blaming one man for the effect of an incredibly huge act of God upon a city whose fate was sealed when it was built up into a massive population center sitting atop a geographical powder keg, some 300 years ago. All New Orleans has ever been able to do was pray that something like this didn't come along.
Ray Nagin doesn't deserve blame for something on this scale. No one person does, unless you want to go back to the Sieur de Bienville.

No, we're talking about a mayor who is a simpleton and can't put two sentences together in a row.
He could barely read his OWN order today for the evacuation; and yesterday he actually said he didn't KNOW if he could order a mass evacuation.
Anybody who doesn't know that, shouldn't be the MAYOR of any city, much less New Orleans.
He's going to get blamed because he did NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO during the storm of the century.
