I disagree with your opinion of his article. I believe it provides a very good framework, one that has been borne out by subsequent events. As for Welch's personal life, that is no business of ours and completely irrelevant to the discussion, I think.

What on earth does Welch's personal life have to do with his considerable experience with management and crises?? Yikes-- talk about an ad hominen. That is so off the wall, it took my breath! If you were to apply that standard to people, some of the greatest thinkers throughout history would have to be dismissed. One of my post grad courses was on Death and Dying and when I worked with the elderly and their families, Kubler-Ross's stages of grief were very, very helpful. Charting and recognizing patterns allows us to predict and work much more effectively with unexpected and traumatic events- from individual crises to large systems. You are highly resistant to almost everything people say here, and I am not sure why. I think you are arguing just because you have decided for some reason, that because we are taking a position refusing to limit guilt to Bush and the feds, we are wrong about everything. So you dismiss without really listening or responding to what is offered. Bush has, as he should, assumed responsibility. That does not absolve everyone else. Or automatically mean the system didn't fail in many places. It also had nothing to do with the validity of Welsh's stages of crisis management.
