- Katrina
- New-Orleans.

What a sad answer.

It takes a hurricane to show our weaknesses.
In France, all it takes is a little warm weather

Seriously, a society is not a uniform statement of philosophy. In any
state,
many attitudes can exist, in different spheres.
The failure of New Orleans was a failure of a secular bureacracy.
And yet, only secular bureacracy, either civilian or military, can deal
with
a disaster of this magnitude.
Bush is to blame for creation of an incompetent bureacracy in FEMA.

There's plenty of blame to go around starting with Governor Blanco and
ending with the ****ing idiots who were shooting at the rescue workers.


France, on the other hand, has a tradition of bureacratic excellence. Your
public servants go to elite schools. Perhaps your bureaucrats are of more
uniformly high quality than ours.

Is that where they learned to take bribes from Saddam?
