I would say it was the city and state government, for not putting an evacuation plan into action to ensure everyone was out in the first place. Simply telling people they should leave is not enough apparently. That would have prevented this situation they are in now.

Fair enough. I can agree with you on that comment. A GOOD well thought out plan would be a great idea.

Wrong. Israel uses aid money strictly for social projects, such as schools, water(a huge problem in that region), social welfare, medicare etc.

Unless it is explicitly millitary aid, such as the type the US does give, Israel will NEVER use money it is given for millitary matters, or matters related to the ongoing conflict. It uses tax revenues for those expenditures.

This whole issue is turning black vs. white. The picture with the military on that tank w/ guns obviously is necessary since relief people have been shot at. The city is messed up...fires are starting out of nowhere.

Let's stop turning this into a racial issue. It was a natural disaster that had the misfortune of hitting a predominantly black area. This area is now in utter chaos. It's a diffucult situation, and everybody needs to take a step back.

Besides, what about all the white folks in Missisipi and the rest of the Gulf. Theyre just as fucked over as the black residents.
Well said.
In no way am I a fan of Bush, but to single him out is idiotic.

If anyone is to "blame", it is the FEMA bureaucracy and it's "tombstone" mentality. They take a reactive stance, not a pro-active one.

It was well-known that a Cat 3 or 4 hurricane would overwhelm NO's water pumping systems. Since the Feds had 36 to 48 hrs advance notice that Katrina was on her way, it's frustrating to see them take so long to mobilize.

But to blame the President alone is myopic and foolhardy. :a:

In short:
Kanye is talentless in his sampling... oh, I mean "music".
He's equally inept in political commentary.

You know, people like you are the reason racial tensions exist in America. Not because white people hate black people and vice versa, but rather because you constantly feel the need to drop a pound of salt into old wounds.

Stop taking shit out of context, youre no better than Karl Rove or any Bush team member who uses shit for their own propaganda ends.

Pic #1 is self-explanitory. White people loot too? Gee, thats news. Of course white people loot, everybody knows that.

Pic #2 is a picture of policemen on patrol, just like they would be in any other context, except the context has changed, in the sense that tough times call for tough measures. When you have automatic weapons being fired at you, you put on some fucking kevlar.

Pic Numero tres, who the fuck are you to say that those men are laughing at those poor people. Photographs may be worth 1000 words but they dont tell the whole story. Whos to say the cops werent gonna drive over and offer them assistance.

However your commentary on pic #4 makes me sick to my stomach. Here's a woman with a baby, clearly in complete anguish over having lost everything and youre making her out like she's the Grand Dragon of the KKK? There's a couple screws loose in your head buddy. In fact, I think you WANT to see this turn into some sort of sick race war.

My advice to you sir. Research Marcus Garvey, find out his main thesis. Act on it.
