SEEKING JUSTICE

Four years ago, responsibility for the devastation of 9/11 was appropriately laid at the feet of Islamist terrorists and their state sponsors, who planned, funded and carried out the attack on our nation. It is, after all, in our nature to identify the offender and seek justice for injustice—to reconcile the account.

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina's destruction, liberal politicians and media pundits are, again, busy seeking justice—but for an act of nature. There is no "enemy," but they are determined to attach blame for this tragedy on George W. Bush. Their politicization of the human suffering in Katrina's wake is beneath disgraceful, especially because we know after 9/11 that a unified response to catastrophe is critical to success.
