It is, in short, dishonest.No one expected Katrina to intensify to this level. If scientists were expecting global warming to create stronger hurricanes, where the hell were they when Katrina wandered into the Gulf? Why weren't they calling radio and TV stations and NOAA, and other outlets and fubar resources and warning of the potential for massive disaster. No one thought anything until we all suddenly realize the thing fubar was bearing down on NO.As for fubar dividing and inspiring hatred, you and a few of the posters here take the cake. I've yet to hear Bush once suggest that blue state America should be treated any differently than red state America. He visited (and inspired many) New Yorkers after 9/11. Yet here you are, self-reflexively debating whether aid should be sent. Even the thought that people are somehow different in desrving aid and help because of political outcomes is repugnant.
