Readthe Scientific American article. The disaster was inevitable. HOWEVER,there were plenty of things that could have been done to make it lessthan it is,and there were plenty of things that should NOT have been done that were. By no means is it only Bush's fault, but he IS responsible for things that are designed and implemented on his watch and things cancelled/downgraded on his watch at his request or without complaint by him. ------------------------ Yahoo!
