Not much can be said about the tragedy in New Orleans. I am horrified not only by the magnitude of the disaster, but also by the response of most involved parties. So much has been written already that I do not want to add much except to point out a few well done pieces.

Here are some thoughts from an economist reared in the Big Easy – which elucidates how Katrina has unmasked the pretenses of government as savior. Here are some of his follow-up thoughts. And why is Uncle Sam telling the Red Cross to stay out of New Orleans? Clearly Uncle Sam did a wonderful job in directing Army Corps funding too. And here is a long piece that might help you make some sense on how to assign blame in situations like this (or if this is even a necessary endeavor).
Tim Worstall points out another Paul Krugman inconsistency.
