I agree the situation is bad, and New Orleans is most certainly a critical path city for the USA economy on both the oil producing, processing and shipping port fronts, but I believe the people of America and the folks in Louisiana are strong to the bone and will surprise all at how fast they come back. Just as the weak sisters who predicted Kuwait would burn for years from the oil well fires started by Saddam Hussein were dead wrong, so will the naysayers here be proven wrong.
However, the American people have now had their eyes opened as to the America they will buy into if Cindy Sheehan and her beloved Democrat Party vermin friends ever get to pull our troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq. If that ever happens, it will only be a short time until the war of the the terrorists comes here via nuclear, bio or beheading events. Folks take a good hard look at the suffering occurring in our southeast, and multiply that by tenfold as the terrorists have a field day destroying America and her people. This current Democrat Party needs to be totally destroyed at the ballot box. If not, your destiny meeting with St. Peter is not far away, thanks to the Cindy Sheehan's and Democrat vermin of the world!!! Wake up!!!
