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?

exactly. You cannot blame Bush for people in the ghetto who insist on being violent and shooting people. He didn't tell them to do that. bush didn't sit on tv and say, If there is ever a crisis, please, shoot eachother and the police, steal everything you can get your hands on. Thats just f**ked up people. The really stupid thing is these people are clinging onto these material things, when they don't know if they are going to make it through the week. Its like, what good is a pair of nikes going to do you when you have no food? So you can stop trying to blame bush for that one. And you also can't blame Bush for global warming, because global warming began before he was born. Its a problem we've had for a very long time, and at this rate, we are probably going to keep having it becuase no one seems to know what to do about it. Watch the Day after Tomorrow. Yes, the events are extreme, but its all based on the very realy effects of global warming. Bush didn't start the earth, he didn't start abising resources, so he can;t be blamed. He is just another product of society. We all are. So many of us drive instead of walk. So this must be your fault. Whatever. This could have happened to anyone. But since it happened here, now its Bush' fault. I dont support or not support Bush, I don't care, but I do not beleive in bestowing blame where it is not deserved. And tell me something, since everyone knew about this hurricane over a week before it hit New Orleans, why didn't they get themselves out??! The people that live there should know better than anyone the kind of damage a hurricane could cause. Many stayed until the day beofre, or even hours before. Besides, if you saw the footage, since the hurricane had weakened, in theory they all would have survived, but the levy broke and flooded everything. If that levy hadn't broken, this wouldn't even be an issue. But who could know the levy would brake. Who could know the water would start rising. the thing about natural disasters is that they are unpredicatble. We can try, but its weather. Its not going to do what we want it to do. Things don't always hold up to it the way we wish. What next? Are we going to be blaming bush for Tornados that ravage cities? For not evactuating 150,000 people 3 mnutes before the thing gets there? Give me a break.
