"According to you, the people didn't blame the gov't for Katrina."

Wrong. Lot's of people blamed the government and specifically Bush. You're attacks on Condoleeza are not as common.

But I didn't say people didn't blame the government. I said reasonable people who weren't already filled with the need to express partisan hatred didn't blame them.

"Who exactly do you think they blamed?"

I think I already addressed that in another post, maybe more than one. The fault of the tragedy, if it goes to the government at all, goes back through several Administrations. It has been known for a long time that the levee failure would almost for sure occur when a 3+ hurricane hit. The gamble was that it would always weaken before land fall, or vere off and slam into another area where there was no levee risk. There had been threats with each president and until Bush, they got lucky. None of them did what you claim the Bush Admin should have done ahead of time. It was a freak occurrence that caught us all unprepared, and would have been the same regardless of who was president.

But ultimately if you are dumb enough to play the blame game, in the first place, you may as well be mad at mother nature.
