Ten, this is typical. Katrina, of course, was a hurricane -- but the humanitarian crisis was not that of a hurricane, but that of a flood -- a totally different kind of tragedy. Now, who would have expected a flood in a major city that lies totally beneath sea level, effectively in a bowl? A coastal city where they rely on massive pumps capable of flowing the equivalent of the entire Ohio River daily -- to keep the city from flooding. In a city where a simple rainstorm overwhelmed the pumping system only 10 years earlier. And now, comes a huge hurricane. Who would have thought it? So, what do they do? Blame it on Bush. Blame it on global warming. There are no natural disasters, and our federal government ought to be able to fix anything that happens.
