It feels fine: it spoke more about you than it did about me.
As I said, anyone with clarity can see that the gov looks horrible in this situation. Anyone who can't see that, 'can't see.'
As I said earlier, 9/11 was a "military" attack and our military took over including the F-16 jets that flew over New York City. President Bush was slow and deliberate even during 9/11 -- didn't visit NYC immediately and had a national cathedral service which headed the nation in the right direction. Then he moved ahead with the Afganistan offensive. He planned carefully. I believe it was the local governments that rescued and attended to the people in NYC, not the Federal Govt. Mayor Guiliani did the local work -- clearly and decisively.
This natural disaster is of exponential proportions over 9/11. This is the size of 90,00 sq miles or, as someone posted, the size of Idaho. This is not a military issue -- eg. difference between CIA & FBI. Obviously, Pres Bush himself is not happy with the results of the help efforts so far but he is not blaming anybody. It was good to hear him thank people even when he must be as frustrated as anyone else. A true leader. Not criticizing others.
