A chance for redemption?

I still hope Gustav fizzles, but I'm also glad to see everyone taking it seriously. For Bush, this is a bit of a chance at redemption. But the facts are that this pending disaster could be of such proportions that no government effort will ever be enough. People just have to realize that. Certainly efforts in the Katrina mess were botched. Stories of FEMA supplies sitting far inland and not being delivered get my blood boiling.

I hope, somehow, the levees hold this time! But if New Orleans sees flooding like before, then it is time to begin abandoning those low areas for good. I've seen pictures of levees which look much stronger, but you still wouldn't get me to go live below water!
