I think what Kestra wants to stress is the fact that nobody has started a tread about this tragedy although it is the main news all over the world. Personally I checked these forum a few times, mainly to know how the disaster was being lived by American Threshers.

For instance, there have been threads for the London bombing, for the tsunami, for wars, for Sep. 11. Why not for Katrina? Does nobody care? is there no interest?

There are clearly things to talk about here. Like the disorganisation of the response to the humanitarian need, the lack of precautions before the disaster and the current effort to compensate the "a little too late".

For the long-term, will this response affect the present administration in the next legislatives?

There is enough material to create interest but the interest does not seem to exist, which is a strange fact to foreigners like Kestra and myself.
