Hell on EarthPlease go to this link 
OPRAH and watch the 'hell on earth' video.
I know it's easy to talk and try to change what happened once it has actually happened , but someone really messed up here, all those people should had been evacuated 2 days before Katrina actually hit the coast.
I heard President Clinton say that when he left office there was an embryo project to take care of the levees. I know it's way too soon to be judging when there's so many people still in so much pain, but I really think that someone ( ahem Bush ) was more interested in stealing oil from other countries than actually protecting the one he had.
We can't prevent natural disasters from happening but we surely can save as many life's as possible and I truly believe that someone really messed up by putting the file 
BUILD NEW LEVEES under the one title 
STEAL SADDAMS OIL.
