What I saw after Katrina was looting, crime incompetent local government etc mostly black americans. I say instead, build a cage around the place and let them fix it themselves if they wish. Its a waste of tax dollars otherwise.

A lot of the problem is an incompetent LOCAL government who would rather play the race card than make matters better and the fact that New Orleans was one of the biggest natural disasters in the US.
I'll never forget the BLACK national guardsman who was finally able to get into the area of the stadium and someone screamed at him, "Why haven't you come before now!"
He screamed back, "Because it's hard!"

Being from New Orleans, I take extreme offence to your callousness, ignorance and unwillingness to hear the plight of the many good citizens in New Orleans that were pushed away by the storm with no chance to recover.
What you saw after Katrina was the very reason why it should be rebuilt. All of that can be eliminated right now by electing strong, competent leaders. Katrina's blessing in disguise is the chance to wipe the slate clean and start over with competence, a determination to root out crime, and a vision of a new New Orleans with the ability to prosper.
What we should do is rebuild it like it should be, not like what it was.

I am from Louisiana albeit 400 miles North of NO. There are a lot of people who think like you do even here in Louisiana. I have been all over the spectrum on this issue but as of right now I am not for rebuilding AS IT WAS prior to Katrina. Almost all of NO is below sea level. No matter how much engineering is done that place will NEVER be totally safe since it is below sea level
If NO is to be rebuilt.....and I think it should.......it MUST be built outside the below sea level areas.

I say that we've done More than enough to help them already. I think that the "Governer" & "Mayor" should pay the citizens of that area to rebuild it. You start by rebuilding the homes & then the work places, then reinvite the companies back & have them resume there old lives.
That's how I think it ought to be done.

Hell No
Let he Democrats fix their own problem as they made it with the most corrupt state and local Government in the USA. Let the Justis brothers of Al Sharpton and The Rev. Jessie Pimp Jackson give their money and let Mr. Hillary Clinton give some of the money they got for selling the Chi-Coms the technology to send an ICBM here to make wast of the rest of us. I am sure they got some other money for selling the Lincoln Bed room to the drug lords so they should all put their money in and not take ours away to line their pockets again.

NO they had all the help financially and people who volunteered to help them. People I know went there and most of the citizens are not helping themselves. If you do that then you should rebuild the small town that was actually wiped off the map during that storm that everyone has forgotten about. That is more of a political move then reality and she knows it....

She's full of - nonsense! he's a dictator who's a vulnerable best buddy of the u . s ., and he or she's attempting to weaken his executive. might she desire that Pakistan and all of its nuclear weapons have been in the hands of a antagonistic Islamic dicatatorship like Iran. that's what ought to happen if Pakistan is destablized. Is she particularly that stupid, or does she have faith that the american each physique is so ignorant that they might settle for her moronic rantings. we want Musharraf and we ought to consistently inspire him to get harder with the Islamic radicals in his very own united states of america. enable's end with this advertising democracy nonsense and start up scuffling with harder against our radical Islamic enemies.

Of course the United States has an obligation to rebuild New Orleans, it is a US city! The federal government is entirely responsible for helping the city recover from such a disaster. If not the US, who else will help? It isn't as though we can just let the city rot for all of eternity, the federal government needs to act now before things get even worse.

Politics aside, that's just the wrong place for a city. Largely below sea level between a huge river, a huge lake, and the Gulf of Mexico and a frequent target of hurricanes? It's doomed, abandon it now and avoid the rush later on.

First off racist remarks are not the answer. Buy U.S. Taxpayers should not be paying this bill at all. Ray Nagin and the Govenour screwed this up so Louisiana you need to step up and fix your own problem.
