Response

I guess I will stand alone and say I believe the mobilization in response to Katrina has been a magnificent display of what this country can do. People, if they want to direct their venom somewhere should perhaps find out the different protocols between states governments and the federal governments role.

The comments have been made that we are able to assist 3rd world countries quicker than we did New Orleans... #1 the very same crabbing went on during the Tsunami in regards to our timeliness of response. #2 - during a 'world' crisis as opposed to a 'state' issue the feds do NOT have to wait for a summons for help from the state.

Two final thoughts - 1) I watched a lady complaining about one of the MREs (Meals Ready To Eat) she was given... said it wasn't 'FIT' to eat. : ) I wondered out loud... wonder what she thinks the men and women in Iraq are eating. Ahh well. 2) This hurricane covered 90,000 square miles larger than the state of Idaho - I stand by my statement - the response of the government has, considering the enormity, has been magnificent.
