You just hit the nail right on the head!

You CANNOT blame everything on 1 person - including George W. Bush.

Our "system" absolutely did fail - there is no excusing that fact.   
There is also no excusing the ignorance of people that want to blame  
all of the world's woes on George W. Bush.

As far as the reason it failed (using the hurricane example that you  
brought up), let's examine some history.  Prior to World War I, there  
was a country-state called Bavaria - you might know where it is.   
Bavaria had its own king, it's own military, and its own laws.  What  
would have happened if some German leader invaded Bavaria to solve a  
problem?  Now, in modern days, we have a state called Louisiana.  It  
has its own governor, its own military, and its own laws.  Louisiana  
had a natural disaster, and their governor refused all help from the  
Federal government.  The governor's staff also refused all offers for  
help.  The Federal government did not invade Louisiana because the  
governor and her staff flatly denied that they needed any help.   
Meanwhile, the governor of Louisiana and her staff were allowing  
their constituents to die.

If you are complaining that the Federal government violated the law  
and conducted illegal wiretaps, please explain why it would have been  
okay for the Federal government to break the law by invading  
Louisiana and taking over relief operations?

Sorry if this seems simplistic to you, but if the action saves lives,  
I'm not really going to cry too much about the government breaking a  
few occasional laws.  I don't like it, but I understand why it is  
sometimes necessary.  And by the way, I believe that President Bush  
should have militarized New Orleans when the mayor ignored the signs  
that the hurricane was going to strike his city.  The mandatory  
evacuation should have been enforced by the military, and quite a few  
less people would have died.

And had he done that, the liberals would very likely now be asking  
whether or not it was legal for him to have done so.  For the people  
that hate President Bush, nothing he does or does not do will be  
acceptable.  It's as simple as that.
