Yes. The need is very great.
Just saw the first article (German magazine) that directly blames the N.O. fiasco to Bush. Unbelievable!!!!

FORMER CLINTON ADVISOR
"No One Can Say they Didn't See it Coming"
By Sidney Blumenthal
In 2001, FEMA warned that a hurricane striking New Orleans was one of the three most likely disasters in the U.S. But the Bush administration cut New Orleans flood control funding by 44 percent to pay for the Iraq war.
Biblical in its uncontrolled rage and scope, Hurricane Katrina has left millions of Americans to scavenge for food and shelter and hundreds to thousands reportedly dead. With its main levee broken, the evacuated city of New Orleans has become part of the Gulf of Mexico. But the damage wrought by the hurricane may not entirely be the result of an act of nature.

WWLTV live. Excellent video coverage now.
Oh, my God... and your's is one of thousands of stories like yours.
I'm white, so I guess I could go out and "find" things. My black friend next to me, well he'd be the looter. Feh!
This is a joke, right?
Things are happening:
Watching my local TV station KRBC in Abilene.
C130's packing up and leaving Dyess, stuff moving from Ft. Hood etc.
What it took was the President to kick this thingy in the butt.
You can bet that the boot has been firmly emplanted.
mpackard, we ARE and will continue to pray for you.
I'm praying for you!! My heart goes out to you and your family!!
I agree, but now is not the time for hand wrining and recrimination. People are wander the 10 Freeway moving based on rumors with no food or water. Looks like a third-world effort so far.
Prayers for You and your family. We are glad you are safe.
How much of the apathy is due to the looting?
I wish it was a joke, but unfortunately it's not...

Shep having a melt-down!
You didn't lose everything. You lost stuff. God bless you for taking your family out of harms way.
The first words from the Clintoons, in the mouth of none other than Sid Vicious. Sid has done their dirty work for many years.
You nailed it, Okie. It is always someone else's fault. Couldn't be that Governor, or that Mayor. Nope, gotta be the bid ol' ebil GWB.
And, Cindy needs a clue. Lots of people are suffering, not only her. Wanna buy her one?
What's he saying?
