well, for one thing, a couple of years ago, bush vetoed a law that would have called for the restoration and renovation of the levees that broke because of hurricane katrina, causing all of new orleans to flood.
and of course, hindsight is 20/20. but if bush would have researched a bit more (or even got his cronies to do it for him), maybe, just maybe, he would have chose to worry about that more than his war expenses.
of course, we can't blame bush for what he could have done in the past. we can't do it for 9/11, or the wmds, or anything like that. least of all a silly little bill that anyone could have vetoed.
BUT the fact remains that the reaction to a natural disaster on our soil was so slow, and the fact remains that victims down there are JUST NOW getting the help they need. why did it take so long? and WHY are some people trying to excuse these facts in any way?
this is our country. no matter the race, no matter the poverty line, no matter any of that. so many of our fellow citizens died, and for some reason, people turned a blind eye for awhile. we can't blame bush for what happened, but we can blame him for his delayed response. so i agree that we shouldn't argue about how it could have been dealt with. but we can criticize how it is being dealt with at present and try to change it.
