Chuck don' letyour prejudice get in the way of facts. There is absolutly no comparsiosn between Cyclone Tracy and Katrina:
- the population and area of Darwin was minsicule compared to the population devastated by Katrina.
- there was no MASSIVE influx of billions of litres of water.
This is not dispute that there has been a degree of ineptitude in dealing with the aftermath of Katrina, but you should get off your political high horse for once and concentrate on the humanitarion aspects of this disaster.
