What a great line, War on Error.
I've
not commented on the Katrina storm, and at first I didn't take it
seriously, because it was yet another excuse for over-panic and placing
reporters out in storms to report about nothing.
But this has gone the opposite way, with complete incompetence and complacency.
These guys in power knew about the potential disaster and had fair warning.
And now they just shrug their shoulders and make speeches.
Doc Searls' entry has prompted me to at least link to what he has to say.
In the War on Error, people will need to take the lead. Governments will need to follow or get out of the way.
And what does Andrew Sullivan the ex-Bush supporter have to say on the matter? Rather a lot!
The reason I'm mad as hell over Katrina is precisely because I'm a conservative and this kind of thing is exactly what government is for. Bush in this sense is not now and never has been a conservative. A man who explodes government spending but can't run a war or organize basic civil defense is simply a fiscally reckless incompetent. If this were a parliamentary system, we'd have a vote of no confidence. Instead we have three years of more peril.
