Red tape and war crime

I have no understanding and no frame of reference of the evil that lurks in men's hearts as they plunder, pillage and rape. My heart is grieved for the survivors of Katrina, who now have to be survivors of "war". Why , oh why are FEMA and the others so caught up in the bureaucratic crap that they can't provide the simple things. Gravely disappointed I am in how all of this has been handled. As I read the reports, watch the video and look at the pictures it is quite overwhelming that our country responded so poorly. It is not the citizens who have donated, offered and come through with help. It is our government who has failed to follow through.
