Over at Vodkapundit, Stephen Green has his own thoughts about what we should do with New Orleans and the people left there.
So let us build a New New Orleans, and build it somewhere better. Let’s just take care to build it somewhere where people can still find mudbugs and catfish and shrimp and crabs and all the other things that have made New Orleans cuisine a treat the whole world has enjoyed.
But what do we do with Old New Orleans?
Let’s leave it to the looters. Leave it to the pond scum who shoot at rescue helicopters. Leave it to the brutes who have terrorized their cowering neighbors in the Superdome. Leave the wreckage of a once-great city to the people who can only wreck great cities.
The decent people trapped in New Orleans? We’ll rescue them. We’ll pull them out and clean them up and build them their new city. How do we choose? We can start by visiting the Superdome. Ask the people there, “Who did this to you?” Look where the fingers point, and leave those people to the city they fouled.
