[undeniable logic]

Nobody has addressed this, but I know that if I were a terrorrist and I am watching what is going on in New Orleans right now, a major light bulb would be going off. Look at what they could have done if they sent one of the airplanes to a levee in NO instead of the WTC. I bet the levees could be breached with a bomb. They would have to be nuts to rebuild, not just because of the risk of another hurricane, but any city protected by levees is a terrorist target right now.

I'd think that crashing a jumbo jet into a levee wouldn't do squat. It took the power of a storm wave to do that.

That's because nobody wants to talk about a terrorist attack or even the next hurricane. People in this country (at least the politicians) love to bury their heads in the sand and pretend that nothing bad will happen, or they'll say what the people want to hear, even if it goes against reality, and the last 75 years of history.

Here's the real kicker about rebuilding New Orleans: Chances are, many people who can afford to move somewhere else are going to do so. The majority of people left are going to be mostly poor.

We saw this with Camille in '69 - we saw a lot of people, and quite a few businesses move out.

Anybody who has ever been to New Orleans, and has strayed from the entertainment/convention districts knows that many parts of the city were very poor.

When you watch the news, notice the people that stayed behind this time - most of them, if not all, are poor.
