Katrina, ainda

Para quem se lembra como Rumsfeld recebeu e comentou o saque em Bagdad, depois da "libertação", não pode deixar de achar estranha a reacção de Peggy Noonan, editora do Wall Street Journal, contra a população que não conseguiu sair de New Orleans

As for the tragic piggism that is taking place on the streets of New Orleans, it is not unbelievable but it is unforgivable, and I hope the looters are shot. A hurricane cannot rob a great city of its spirit, but a vicious citizenry can. A bad time with Mother Nature can leave you digging out for a long time, but a bad turn in human behavior frays and tears all the ties that truly bind human being--trust, confidence, mutual regard, belief in the essential goodness of one's fellow citizens.
