If all the money for the Corps of Engineers wasn't sent to Iraq, the
infrastructure around New Orleans could have been improved to the point where most people could go home now. Smaller hurricanes wouldn't require any evacuation. Supposedly the cost was under $1B. True (except for the cost, which is low by a factor of ten) -- but irrelevant. a) No one wanted to do what was viewed as a "pork barrel" project b) The projects that had been proposed would have had no impact on the areas that failed. (This all from an NPR news report this morning, talking to the Corps of Engineers) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
