New Orleans and the government

I think the population of the USA should be mobilising to do something about this.
A disaster that has been widely publicised as going to happen in books, documetaries and the like as going to create a disaster, seems to have been ignored at the planning stage, as when it happened, the White House seemed to ignore it for about a week, with hardly any food, little policing and basically no help.
Is this what happens when you elect a president with no brain ?
The warnings were issued before it happened, so where were the extra defences erected ?
Lastly, who would position a city with a population approaching a million souls on the seafront, in a hurricane region 20 feet below sea level ?
The loss of life [ estimates done a couple of years ago suggested 20,000 souls] is absolutely appalling and I grieve for them as this should have been totally stoppable, at least in the short term- till the city was evacuated and abandoned in say 2015 or whenever it seemed to becoming too dangerous to live there.

I read 15 years ago? [I've been interested in global warming/man-made catastrophes since 1967] that of many aspects if global warming was to become a reality , one of the consequences would be much more/fiercer hurricanes in the Carribbean . It looks like they may well be correct in which case it could easily happen again within 10 years. Oh, another one was New York freezing up- but that looks like it isn't going to start happening this year [ but the seeds of New York's destruction are already in place- apparently 30% there already and growing quickly]

What did I read in 1967 ? Well, it was that aircraft pollution could cause a thinning of the ozone layer.
Most of the Global problems affecting us today have been known about for many years, it's just that people have chosen to ignore them as it wouldn't affect them before the next election

Please Mr Bush, please, do something about energy useage in that vast country of yours before it becomes too late [ another prediction was that the UK would become largely not too good for life- same as New York, so I am intimately involved as to what happens over there]
