Your right Mani, I believe it was 1993, hurricane Andrew, completely destryed the Homestead area south of Miami, Florida. I went down to survey the situation for my part of the Government (Agriculture Dept.).
Appreciate your thoughts John W.! As an American, I see the incredible waste of dollars being poured into New Orleans and cringe. Not that I don't want to help the people but, because of political pressures, Billions will end up being spent (with again millions lost to abuse) rebuilding. With the absolute best levy system possible, the Army Corps of Engineers have said they CANNOT hold against anything greater than a Cat 3. Hurricane. I believe Katrina was a cat 4 or 5. How dumb eh?
As far as Iraq taking dollars away from New Orleans: Folks, this is America, if we need more money, we print more money, all for the people of course. A Big CHIN CHIN CHIN!
