| Crisis of Leadership |
The citizens of America deserve much better than the level of incompetence displayed by
their government leaders in response to Hurricane Katrina. As if the unnecessary deaths
and suffering aren't enough, the victims have to listen to the finger pointing and the failure
of their leaders to take responsibility for unforgivable failures.
At every level of government, we have seen the worst decisions in emergency
management and preparation. Excuses are being made that make no sense. Everyone
knew that there was a strong possibility that the levees would break; yet government
leaders still say the levee breaks were unforeseen.
At the local government level, buses were left in harms way. Food and water were not
ready in designated shelters. The response from FEMA was feeble.
