New Orleans Is Flooded Again.

[Taem]

Blah blah blah.
You arent saying anything new.

It was a disaster - we can blame everyone who didnt have the fore sight to stop it - then we can blame everyone who didnt grasp the magnitude of what they were seeing as it happened.

Some people need to blamed I suppose, but your not giving us any new info on that.

I wasn't trying to state anything "new" per say - other than the public release of this "new" video. No, my goal was to relay a message of HOPE! What's done is done. I don't want to blame anyone, nor do I want to dwell on the past, however I do feel we can learn from our past mistakes without pointing the finger. I guess what's ultimately in my heart is the desire that we as a nation grow from this experience so that mistakes of this nature don't happen again. We can learn so much from this tragedy instead of arguing over whose fault it is.

Why preach a message of HOPE now? From listening to newscasts during Katrina, preachers in my local churches, and conservatives talk shows on the radio from time-to-time, you'd believe that many Americans simply didn't believe, or don't want to believe, that Bush could have ignored such obvious warnings in New Orleans. Because of the recently released videos depicting Bush's full knowledge of the danger, those people trying to ignore the obvious can't hide from the facts any longer. As a nation, now is the time to move forward and ask ourselves, "what have we learned from this tragedy and how can we make sure similar mistakes are prevented?"

I'm sure there will always be those who will blame Bush for this disaster (and others). For me, I only wish goodwill towards the man whose time in office has been anything but easy. I don't believe in most of his ideals, but he is our elected president and I think he has grown from his time in office. I can only hope that as a nation we will show support for him and he will make the right choices for us.
