Didn't Bush say he was taking resposibility for the catastrophe?

In the circs., that would mean resigning, wouldn't it?

The whole thing remionds me of perceptive play by the Swiss Max Frisch, The Fireraisers. Briefly, in a city where there are many arson acts, Mr.Biedermeier (German for 'bourgeois') takes a lodger on, who is soon bringing in a friend, then drums of petrol (his room is in the attic), and finally asks Biedermeier for matches. Mr.B. agrees to every request because he doesn't (or refuses) to see the possible connection between the lodger and the earlier arson attacks.

Let the arsons stand for Katrina, the previous attacks for the hurricane and 'fragile levees' warnings, and Mr.B. for those who ignored/didn't believe the warnings.


          Ohhhhhhhhhh   Deeeeeeeaar.
