After the way the American government handled - or rather didn't handle - the tragedy following Hurricane Katrina the only hope is that things are going to change in America. I mean really change.
The Independent has an article about this:
The new Ground Zero
excerpts from the article:
beyond the destruction and human misery, something else is starting to become clear. Like the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, whose fourth anniversary is this weekend, Hurricane Katrina is an event whose consequences will extend far beyond the physical, into the very mind of America.
and this:
Katrina may prove a pivotal moment for American politics and American society. Doctrinal minimalist conservativism has run its course. The pendulum is poised to swing back to more activist government.
