Suprised--Not Really
Like many people I've found the news reports and images of the aftermath of hurricane Katrina this past week to be both sad and horrifying and my heart goes out to those effected by the magnitude of this disaster.
As events unfolded and the days went by I have to admit that I wasn't surprised by the stupidity and incompetence of the Federal Government in responding to the disaster, I'm more suprised that it only took them six days to start to get their act together.
If this had been a terrorist attack relief efforts and aid would have been on the way within hours but there's no political mileage to be gained from a natural disaster.

I have to agree with you. I think that it is terrible that we can get aid to other counties faster than we did to the people effected by this disaster.
