Blame Game for Katrina

I've been reading the different stories in the media about who is exactly to blame for what has happened in New Orleans and most of the Gulf Coast with Hurricane Katrina. Everything from the declaration of a State of Emergency to whether or not the people that are there to help are actually doing enough to alleviate the situation. I know this is going to sound foolish, but I wish everyone would grow up and focus on the task at hand, instead of trying to make themselves look good by blaming someone else for the shortcomings that have occurred. The ultimate losers in this blame game are the poor folks that have had their lives turned upside down and the last thing that any of them care about is where the blame should go. Who cares? Imagine if this kind of behavior would have occurred during 9/11. Can you imagine the bickering that would have taken place concerning what was done (or not done) to prevent that tragedy from taking place? I just wish that the folks that are playing the blame game would work with the same spirit and brotherhood that was exhibited in the days immediately following 9/11, so that these folks that have been hit hard by this disaster can start to get their lives back to normal. And in the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that!"
