is bush at fault? Options

[*tweeak*]

to begin with, i'd like to point out that I do not support Bush. However, I cannot understand why people are blaming him for Katrina, just because he has troops in Iraq. It seems like a lame excuse to protest the war and find a scapegoat for the hurricane

so, do you think Bush is at fault for part of the Katrina ordeal?

I don't know if one can associate global warming with hurricanes.

There are, however, some man-made problems associated with New Orleans and storm activity. For example, New Orleans is practically out in the ocean now; it wasn't always that way, though. New Orleans used to be surrounded by marshland that helped absorb storms such as hurricanes. Unfortunately, in the last 60 years, human activity has depleted that marshland, resulting in flooding that basically surrounded New Orleans with water and removed land that helped absorb and slow down hurricanes.
