Good points so long as we do not forget that a major cause of the debacle was a failure of political leadership, not of basic organization. The governor had absolutely no understanding of her Guard and we know know that the mayor's police forces was totally inadequate. He had virtual cops instead of real ones, because he was misusing Uncle's nickel.
If the citizens of LA and NO fail to hold the Governor and Mayor personally responsible for their failures then I'm afraid they deserve the leadership they get. Both thought Uncle was gonna do it al and still do so it seems.
