I'm not sure I understand your question. My position is that the leaders in NO were ill prepared for a catastrophe. As a matter of fact it was President Bush who had to tell them they better be evacuating their people. I also think police and rescue people and the NG arew doing all they can and that people are impatient. I understand the impatience of the people there. But I think people who are not there and only listening to the media should give the rescuers a chance. My position is exactly like you said. The devastation area is huge and it is going to take time. That doesn't mean they are doing nothing or don't care.
Exactly. Are these people uncomfortable? Yes. Have some died? Yes. Are they making their situation worse? Yes. Should the city have had an evac plan (similar to the get the vote out effort they roll out every election day) to get the people out prior to the storm once the mandatory evacuation order came down? Yes. It's basically a cluster screw.
