What I cant understand is the lack of unorganization by the goverment.
They knew this storm was coming and it didnt seem like they prepared
too well for transportation for people to leave the city.


$$ There didn't seem to be any way at all for the poor to leave and where
would they have gone? They can't afford Motel and Hotels.

Also, why
doesnt Bush just send in a massive military force to put things under
control and stop the looting and organizie things? How about putting
some Navy and Coast Guard ships right off New Orleans and transporting
people to them via, boats, helicopter or whatever where then they can
have food and shelter.


$$ That takes time. I heard that a ship is on the way. Someone needs to
pick up the dead bodies. In that head decomposition is rapid.

It just seems liek a big lack of communication
and unorganization. Am I looking at things wrongly or am I expecting
too much, I dont think so.


$$ I don't think anyone expected this storm to be so catastrophic.

Does anyone know if extra buses, trains, or
whatever were available for people to evacuate who couldnt afford any
other means?


$$ All I saw were some buses hauling them off to Texas.........
