i ask, did the US deserve 9/11 and does the incompetence or neglect of a leader (or their staff) make their constituents deserving of harm? this is the same reason we were susceptible to attacks on the twin towers and it was pulled off virtually without a hitch by the terrorists.
Nobody deserved anything (either 9/11 or the hurricane)...
BUT... Lets say there was a warning about a week prior to the planes hitting. Everyone that had the ability to leave the place because they thought they could "ride it out" sure in the hell deserved it.
BUT because there was no warning about 9/11, it makes this a totally different scenario, and the NYC mayor (and all the other city workers) actually could handle a disater. New Orleans didn't have a plan, had warnings, and after the disater couldn't make their own plans to handle it.
