Please support the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts
What about the devastation wrought by the fine old USA in Iraq?

If we hadn't been sending so much money to Iraq, the Corps of Engineers would have been able to keep the leevees up and in working order. In 2004, the contractors working on the leevees had to work for free (the USACE will pay them back when they actually get money) to keep the leevees up. As you may know, the leevees sink in the soft soil. Some of the leevees are five feet below where they are suposed to be.

If this is true that the levees were in such bad shape, I wonder who's going to be judged culpable? I'm seeing estimates now of $75B in insured and uninsured losses.

Keep in mind that while most everyone considers the hurricane in America to be devestating and cause overwhelming harm to our entire nation, not everyone considers "the devastation wrought by the fine old USA in Iraq" to be a harmful decision to Iraq and/or America.

As a non-american, I am just curious about personal resposibility? Haven't these people insurances for their homes? It is not like it property insurances are very expensive (maybe they are in the US?) - I pay something like 15€/months for my home insurance (and 20€/month for my bike insurance! But bikes are stolen a lot) and it covers flooding. |
