OT: Agree. There is too much Monday morning quarterbacking going on. I like Bill Cara, but he is in the same boat. He blasted the increase in oil prices when the hurricane changed directions saying it was just an excuse to raise prices. He said there was less than a 1% chance of it hitting N.O. Could it be that he doesn't know as much as he thinks? Nah. He flip flopped on how bad it was a few times. Now, he tells readers to go back and read how devastating he thought it would be 24 hours before it hit. Really? What about 48 hours before it hit? What about 72 hours? Different story.

Everyone is a coach.

OT - I can agree with most of your assessment. However, the biggest problem in this disaster is the class of people. New Orleans is 68% black. The city leadership is black. As you can see no prior planning was done in this city for a disaster they knew was inevitable, they knew that the levyes could only with stand a CAT 3 hurricane. The majority of these people do not care about their fellow man, but only of themselves. Looting, riots, and gangs are their way of life. Now they are showing the world how they perform in a disaster. The exceptions are the Condelisa Rice's and Collin Powell's. But despite this, we will come to their aid only to be bashed by the Jesse Jackson's & Al Sharpton's. Wonder what this world would be like if they were President. God, help us all!
