A letter from Michael Moore

[Jeff H]

Michael Moore could have sent in busses to help evacuate the people but he chose not to. The mayor of NO could have asked for busses to help evacuate people but he was too busy running to higher ground to save himself. The governor of Louisiana could have asked for help evacuating people but she didn't either. They knew 2+ days ahead of time that it was going to be a real close hit to NO. The levees should have been reinforced years ago to handle a category 5 storm but NO chose to spend the money they were given elsewhere. Michael Moore could have helped reinforce the levees but he didn't. Troops being abroad have nothing to do with what happened here. NO and the state of Louisiana had no central command set up in case a hurricane hit. So who was supposed to organize the relief effort? The federal gov't couldn't have done much more than they did in the first couple of days because there was no central command to communicate with. This disaster is the fault of the city of NO local gov't and blame should not be passed on to anyone else. Michael Moore should spend a couple of nights in a flooded NO house, I'm sure we would all appreciate it if he did. I'm sick of these self-righteous "celebrities" who never have anything to offer before an event occurs. I applaud Sean Pean who jumped in to help rescue people. Going forward, NO should not be allowed to rebuild anything that is below sea level, that is the situation that created this disaster, not global warming, George Bush, Iraq or poverty.
