There isn't much I can add to all the discussion over New Orleans, but I just watch a CNN video that is probably the saddest thing I've ever seen. It annoys me that I can't link to it, but just go to CNN.com and look for the clip about the man who lost his house and his wife.
Now if only we could divert some of the manpower and $191 billion being spent in Iraq right now to right here at home, perhaps we could actually help these people.
