Sorrow

It might seem from the posts below that my approach to the situation on the Gulf Coast and New Orleans is purely political or analytical.

Not so. The images and descriptions are overwhelming, and saddening beyond belief. There is always a touch of schadenfreude whenever there's a really dramatic disaster, and I confess to a touch of it. But there's a sense of horror, a tear in my eye, and great sorrow in my heart whenever I see or hear what's happening.
