A note to government at all levels: You _cannot_ paint yourselves the protectors of the people, the defenders of the faith, the guardians of homeland security and yet _disavow that very responsibility_ when you and your colleagues fail in your collective duties.
You currently scramble to save yourselves from the brunt of an angry popular response to a natural disaster that became a man-made tragedy.
I’d respect you more, **instead of demand your resignation or impeachment**, if you simply admitted your failures, took responsibility for the events surrounding the Katrina disaster, and worked to prevent future calamities.
UPDATE: _Thankfully, Bush did take at least some of the responsibility for the government’s failures. With the Washington Post (a pro-administration paper if there ever was one) heralding [the end of the Bush era][era], however, it may just have been too little to save his Presidency._
