When you get right down to it.. Yes there has been plenty of blame to go around.. and I know Nagin has been accused of handling some things completely wrong.. and I don't know him from Adam except for what I've seen on the t.v. since katrina. But I'd like to see anyone handle the catastrophe that was New Orleans and the levee breaking and the flooding of an entire city like that any better ?? I know there have been complaints about the speed of recovery in New Orleans.. but again.. I say take any city in the country, and completely flood it out like that city has been.. with an evacuation of some one million people.. and try to make things work right quick ??
My biggest complaint has to be the slow response time for food and water for those people left stranded.. when I think of how fast we have responded in the past with military personell or the like for some foreign country hit by a tidal wave or earthquake, seems we can get there in 2 or 3 days.. not like 4 or the 5 days it took us to get help into New Orleans.. ??
Not sure what the future holds for this city, but I long for it's return as a vacation destination, I've spent many a trips down there, and have countless memories of fun and good times there.
