I don’t see how it’s a mistake.
How best to survey the damage than from above?
It’s a natural disaster, for crying out loud.
You can’t stop 100% of damage from occuring when something beyond your control strikes.
If Nagin and Blanco share no responsibility, then why even have local and state government?
Why don’t we just have federal government instead?
After all, I seem to remember a lot crying “BLAME BUSH” after Katrina but Nagin and Blanco got a free pass, and still do, to this very day.
