If it just means putting it back like it was before Katrina, that seems pointless.
But if we value our own, and can fix it where it is safe from Hurricanes, we would be foolish not to fix it.
It is a major port; it has vital cultural and historical value, and its time we spent money on building something instead of blowing things up.

To start with, I am not a registered anything! But why do you feel everyone is blaming Bush? I don't blame Bush for the hurricane, but I do blame him for the failure to follow through with funds as promised. I blame the federal government for the sh itty conditions that the levies were in in the first place.
