Amen. You've articulated perfectly something that has really been bugging me, too.

Great Post! I think FEMA has learned something. They have a different director, David Paulison, who is competent for a change, and they have learned to be proactive (see the USA Today story, "Federal response was more sure-footed in Calif. than it was after Katrina," Oct 25, p. 6A). But everything else you wrote is spot-on.

The difference between the California fires and Katrina is black and white!

Great post! FEMA is more ready now than they were, but that doesn't rebuild Katrina victims' homes. Police and Firefighters learned a lot from 9/11, too, but it doesn't make that terrible day less of a tragedy.
