The national belief that New Orleans was leveled by a natural disaster is the single biggest obstacle to New Orleans’ recovery.  This myth is the reason that flood survivors are being blamed for the tragedy.  It is why the Pittsburgh Tribune calls us “imbeciles” for our wish to rebuild.  It is why the Hartford Courant calls our desire to go home a “slow moving train wreck.” 

New Orleans was destroyed because the federal organzation charged with the responsibility to protect metro New Orleans from flood waters, the US Army Corps of Engineers failed in their mission.
