Found someone who is still using the Blame Game meme
"Well, let's put it in perspective that this was a major and unexpected disaster - it's really easy to play the blame game *after* the fact of the matter.

Certainly there are lessons to be learnt - don;t you think that's how Cuba and China are learning their lessons? However, anyone placing themselves on a moralistic high-ground on the basis of hindsight I should not expect to be a wise move at all."

1. Cuba learned its lesson long ago
they're used to hurricanes, and having to evacuate people that don't have the resources to move themselves.

4. Where is he getting this idea that first responders were told to
stand down the day after the storm because it didn't look so bad? Any truth to that?
