I disagree the left offers no solutions to natrual disasters such as the one in New Orleans. Even the Post, with 20/20 hindsight, has published a number of articals since the City was destroyed linking the unusally large number of hurricanes to global warming. The left has been beating that drum for as long as I can recall. Some have become so shrill as to be labeled "eco-terrorists". Now that over a thousand people are dead and a million more displaced it should be clear who the real "eco-terrorists" are.

Today... "Rather than useful jobs in our country, people have been offered bureaucratic "make work," rather than moral leadership, they have been given bread and circuses, spectacles, and, yes, they have even been given scandals. Tonight there is violence in our streets, corruption in our highest offices, aimlessness among our youth, anxiety among our elders and there is a virtual despair among the many who look beyond material success for the inner meaning of their lives. Where examples of morality should be set, the opposite is seen. Small men, seeking great wealth or power, have too often and too long turned even the highest levels of public service into mere personal opportunity...extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice...moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." Sen. Barry Goldwater 1964
