Waiting for the Americans
Bush continues to get blasted by the Left for the federal response to Katrina, and -- to the extent the buck stops with him for ousted FEMA boss Michael Brown's inneptitude -- deservedly so. But David Warren of The Ottawa Citizen believes Bush is getting a bad rap:
"If something happened up here [Canada], on the scale of Katrina, we wouldn't even have the resources to arrive late. We would be waiting for the Americans to come save us, the same way the government in Louisiana just waved and pointed at Washington, D.C. The theory being that, when you're in real trouble, that's where the adults live." Link.

FWIW, the press in Europe is spreading the blame more widely than just Bush. Sure, your President made some major blunders (especially appointing someone to head FEMA who was clearly never up to the job), but there seems to have been plently of other links in the chain that also messed up in a big way.
Well said!
