I think there is a stark contrast to the 9/11 attacks. In NYC and WDC, this attacks were mostly against people who normally are self-starters. Why aren't you seeing this finger-pointing and racemongering going on in MS and AL.
Why?
Because MS and AL are self-starters. They haven't been raised, like the majority of those left in NO, with possibly 3 or 4 generations of people on the government dole. Welfare is the real culprit here and is the ruin of this country.
Yeah, there is the usual anger and frustration in disasters, but I've never seen anything like this, where people will basically sit and die and not try to help themselves. Nagin is an enabler, and should bear the responsibility for these people because he enabled the frustration to be aimed at the federal government.
Why should it be left for the federal government to act initially. Local government should have been there and should have acted. Short of that, these people should have acted on their own.
I'd would have pulled up and left of my own doing. Instead, all these people just sat there waiting for ol' Uncle Sam to do it all. Pull yourself up and help yourself when all else fails. That's what has been lost on welfare.

Today I saw video in a dry area of NO that looked exactly like a normal day in downtown Port-au-Prince.
