Just how many of those complaining about the "HELL" they suffered in the Super Dome, can look back and say that if they had stayed at home - would have drown instead?

The tourist were probably high and dry in hotels, if they went to the Super Dome they were in much greater danger. New Orleans is dead as a foreign tourist destination. Think of all of the stories out of Asia after the tsunami of how the locals took care of the tourist.

These people killed their city years in advance with their planning of this city and emergency planning. Their actions after the flood was just the nails closing the coffin.

Not just foreign. Adfter the news of the past few days, I'll be damned if a single one of my dollars is *voluntarily* spent in New New Orleans.

Couldn't agree with you more.
