Article about N.O. flooding from 2001 Sci-American

Unforeseeable? Maybe politicians like W wouldn't get so trashed on if they would refrain from saying stupid, provably untrue things in public... Just maybe...<br /><br /> http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&articleID=00060286-CB58-1315-8B5883414B7F0000 <br /><br />And this is not to say that i think its W's fault or that the federal effort would have been any better under a democrat or any other party rule. it's an incredible mess on so many levels, but certainly NOT "unforeseeable".

Thanks for posting that. It was very interesting.<br /><br />Government decisions do have real consequences, and basing policy on idealogy as opposed to science is a flawed strategy.
