Betrayl:The Legacy of … NEW ORLEANS:a trust forgotton



This was first published by the Ashville Global Report in October 2005.There is something fundamentally wrong with an administration that has failed it's citizen twice in four years. Mr.Bush ignored the cries of the old,young, children,dead and dying.Because of that he violated a trust that began during the Revolutionary War,and endured through two WORLD WARS A GREAT DEPRESSION,VIETNAM,GULF WAR, WTC AND IRAQ INCLUDING VARIOUS HOT SPOTS AROUND THE GLOBE.Most Americans place a significant trust in their goverment,as I do.Mr. Bush's "Brownie you're doing one hell of a job"eroded that trust.Americans have earned that trust with their loyalty,patriotism,and outright blood defending America wherever she needed us.In some cases just because "Uncle Sam needs you".Where was that trust in the aftermath of Katrina. That trust or love is reciprocal.It failed miserably in early September. The People where were forgotton.As I sat and watched news coverage of Katrina,and saw through the eyes of T.V. cameras the horror and failure of our government to come to the aid of the citizens of New Orleans I wondered:Where are the Police,and National Guard,but most of all Federal Troops!My Father would have said "Courtmarshall the S.O.B.s the whole chain of Command,echoed by Uncle.Both WWII vets.There are millions of Americans just like me.So when I say we've earned the trust of the government,I mean it.The reality is that Mr.Bush owes all Americans and apology.The tragedy is he didn't (give one). So in the eyes of this one American,he not only forgot the people of New Orleans:He violated our Constitution.
