Hurricane Katrina

[cliff]

I believe Australia send a disaster team over as soon as the American Govt. accepted overseas aid.

I believe that New Orleans should be totally rebuilt on a safer site and not just repaired where it sits. Regardless of the history involved or what upgrades they do to buildings now in another 100 years nature will just through something bigger at them and flatten it again.

Man has tryed countless times throughout history to tame mother nature and he will never succeed so why leave the city sitting on land that is below sealevel?

On another note our government is in the firing line because there were no govt. people in NO to help the stranded Aussie tourists to get out but they were helped by Australian news teams who managed to get into the city. To my mind these Aussie tourists were very stupid not to have left when told.

I say a prayer for all the folk in NO every time I see reports of it on the news.

cheers
