Fault lines – After reviewing the blogosphere, it’s obvious I’m fighting an uphill battle here. I’m sure that after the water recedes, there will be plenty of blame to go around from Nagin on up to Bush. I just don’t see the point right now and, as John Podhoretz retells, most Americans understand that human capability to avoid disaster is limited: “You need to look at the world through political glasses to assume that THE key aspect of a natural disaster is the response or lack thereof of the authorities -- whether they be local, state or federal. The president doesn't MAKE hurricanes, therefore he will not be blamed FOR hurricanes. Nor do the governor and the mayor.” The wisdom of crowds shines through again.
