I specifically explained in the last paragraph that the flood isn't his fault, but his commitment to protecting America from this kind of stuff needed to be questioned.<BR/><BR/>Did Clinton do enough? No. Also addressed in the last paragraph.<BR/><BR/>Did global warming make Katrina worse? Hard to prove or disprove (although we can certainly see it here in Arizona-- I have stood on top of a mountain where there had been a forest fire and you can still see burnt trees, but now it is covered with desert vegetation, as the hotter and drier climate is no longer sufficient to allow the forest to grow back). Just keep in mind that this came on the 13th anniversary of Andrew, but in 1992, August 29 was the 'A' hurricane, and by now it is the date for the 'K' hurricane. You can ponder that if you want to.Eli Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792743206074537073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231145.post-1125430139973266182005-08-30T12:28:00.000-07:002005-08-30T12:28:00.000-07:00Will this change the party affiliation of even jus...Will this change the party affiliation of even just one Republican whose home and livelihood were just wiped out?<BR/><BR/>I just don't know anymore.shrimplatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08347542266047278227noreply@blogger.com
