...FEMA [the Federal Emergency Management Agency] was ill prepared to handle the magnitude of the devastation. Its incompetent performance under the leadership of Michael Brown, who had no credentials or experience, reflects poorly on President George W. Bush, who was responsible for Brown's appointment. The majority of the blame, though, lies with local officials. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin has a lot to answer for. Much of the grief his city experienced could have been prevented by responsible preparation...
...consign people to death because of bureaucratic ineptitude is one issue, but speaking as a political scientist, I believe failure to provide security for one of the largest ports in the U.S. is simply unthinkable. Barbara P. McCrea Kalamazoo, Michigan, U.S. I am sick and tired of people blaming the Federal Government in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

...Ashanti Empire remains. White people, who may have visited Ghana for a week, perhaps facing an awkward conversation or two, might have left with a misconstrued perception of slavery and Africa. I’m happy however, that many of the white people I met left not feeling blame, but feeling the same ownership I have. Ownership of the fact that historical inequities cannot be separated from present-day circumstances; that all of our histories are intertwined in Ghana—the British, the Ashanti, the Dutch, the Fante; that while they may face some unexpected questions, they will...
