Even now, years later, it's hard to tell why the government stood by and let the city of New Orleans be destroyed, dispatching troops rather than help.

About This Quote

The people of New Orleans are still suffering because of the government’s hesitation to help them. They are suffering because they are still waiting for the government to come through with aid that has been promised. It is heartbreaking to know that the lives of so many people were lost, and so many families were destroyed. Because of this, there is still so much suffering in New Orleans today.
