Our Opinions Wednesday marked the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, one of the worst storms to ever hit the U.S. mainland. The storm devastated New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the areas still have not recovered. It may be years, if ever, before they are back to where they were before Katrina hit. A lot of folks in Louisiana and Mississippi are still suffering as a result of Katrina. It is a shame that a nation as great as ours have neglected the needs of its own citizens who suffered because of this storm. Yet, we can pour billions of dollars and thousands of lives into a hopeless fight in the Middle East, battling for democracy for a people who do not want or appreciate it. Our government failed to protect and to help those who should have been helped. And to make a bad situation worse, the government is still neglecting the needs of affected victims and communities. It is a shame and a disgrace. Hurricane Dean recently made the news as it hurdled across the Yutican and Mexico. That recent storm, as well as Katrina's anniversary, should serve to remind us all that we still have a few months of hurricane season left and that the most powerful storms usually come late.
We should not let our guard down. And we should not forget Katrina and those who suffered and are still suffering from it.
