There have been some comments on the blog that are critical of Americans for not mobilizing more in light of President Bush's visit to, of all places, New Orleans to talk about "security" and "prosperity".
Fair enough. But keep this in mind. New Orleans is still a city in tatters, save for the most "important" commercial areas and those that were spared major flooding (French Quarter, in particular).
People in New Orleans just aren't thinking about protests. They are rebuilding their lives and are not getting much help. They likely couldn't care less about where Bush is at any particular moment, even if he is in their own town.

But surely Americans from cities that had not been devastated by hurricanes can go over to express themselves?
