It's so bizzare that this situation happened the way it did. We all knew that it was coming, but it was just ignored/badly planned. It looks like something you'd find in a third world country, not in the United States. What this tells me, is that, we're not ready for the things we should be. The war in Iraq has taken center stage, while what's important in our own country is pushed to the side. It's an illusion of safety, because what this has shown me is that the govenment is just as confused as the rest of us.

How do you know that "the government" is confused?
It probably involves a lot of planning and logistics to send the military into a disaster area.
And this "illusion of safety" is shattered because it takes a hurricane to make you realise that you're never safe from mother nature? Come on, it's a hurricane, fastest winds on earth, you can't launch anti terrorist missiles at it and make it go away. It's going to level everything, and there's nothing you can do about it. All you can do is try to evacuate as many people as possible, and if some people don't leave of their own accord well that's their problem isn't it? I don't see why the government should anticipate and have a contingency plan for stubborn morons. The people they'd be going in to help would be people who had the option of leaving but didn't.
