disbelief

Reading the papers and listening to the radio, I sit here in disbelief that this horrific situation is spiraling into mayhem; how can our government officials live with themselves, when they did so little to prevent the human damage from this hurricane? They knew it was coming; it was predicted to be violent and dangerous, and yet so many people were left in New Orleans because they lacked the means to escape before it hit. I am sure that some people tried to ride it out, but many more didn't have cars, or money, or a place to go. I think President Bush, VP Cheney, et al, should be dropped into the midst of New Orleans and forced to fend for themselves like so many of the people there. This is a disgrace.
