Sure it could have been done better, gold. And the evidence supporting that is in Florida where people were evacuated, kept safe. NOLA was a debacle. Bush's surprise about the disastrous outcome four days later was obviously feigned since he was briefed repeatedly beforehand.

China to launch 'alternative' internet newscienist ^ \| March 01, 2006 \| Will China to launch 'alternative' internet The Chinese government has announced plans to introduce several Chinese-language internet domains. These should make the web more usable for Chinese speakers, who make up one-fifth of everyone on the planet. But, theoretically at least, the measures could create a separate part of the internet, under complete control of the Chinese government. This is sure to stir up worries over censorship and repression as China has not shied away from controlling internet usage within its borders before. Several US internet companies have also come under fire recently for helping the Chinese government keep an eye on its citizen's online activity. On the other hand, the move could make the US even less likely to relinquish control of the domains that it currently controls.
