COMMENT #459 [link] ...Steve Herman said on 9/3/2005 @ 1:18am PT... While the decades-long rejection of global warming to advance economic policy likely contributed, in some part, to the string of recent hurricanes culminating in the devastating Katrina, I, of course, recognize that there were hurricanes and typhoons and other natural disasters long before the SUV became the top-selling car in America.Yet where is the Louisiana National Guard?In Iraq.Where is words the Corps of Engineers?In Iraq.It is impossible to accept the proposition that military ships, words helicopters, amphibious vehicles, and other words resources that were not available to rescue people, or to evacuate people, or to secure the levees, or to provide food and water and medical supplies, or to protect people from lawless street gangs; are put to better use securing and rebuilding the Nation of Iraq.I do not forgive, and will not soon forget, the men on tv in their pin-striped suits with their horned-rimmed glasses and their yellow ties quantifying the economic losses to insurers and questioning whether the American taxpayers should be forced to subsidize people who choose to live in a tropical paradise.I
