New Orleans: Pattern emerges in lack of respones. Outrageous
First read the list of all events where help wasn't allowed.

Add to this that German Red Cross members weren't allowed to enter New Orleans. Get ready for the explanation:
The National Guard refused entrance because they want to concentrate all energy on the evacuation of the people while the presence of the Red Cross could encourage people to stay.
Link only in German:

Add to this that Cuba offered help already before Katrina hit.

2. My guess is the Bush crowd is trying to hide the bodies.
If the Red Cross goes in to feed the people they would be able to do a body count. The death count must be huge.

5. Trying to hide and coverup everything is what I think they did.

6. Another post with many reports, and quotes
I've also gone through and compiled a list of delayed / denied aid to Katrina victims; I think I've got a few that weren't included in the above links. See more at:

First time in my life that I feel pure rage inside of me.
And desperation.

8. I don't get why everyone doesnt create a database.
Just like for Iraq, then it can be sent to all leaders and media. Blast it like there's no tomorrow.

10. Agreed - question is, where?
Would we want to do it on the Demopedia? On another wiki (wikipedia? wikinews?)? Or just keep it as a thread / blog post?

I'd be happy to keep updating my post with new entries, if people wanted to send them my way (e.g., leave them as comments to the post).

Also, feel free to distribute my post however you like; just include a link back to the original.
