Dreams Turned into Rubble in New Orleans

"Every American deserves an opportunity to achieve the American dream; New Orleans public housing residents deserve no less."

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Alphonso Jackson made this statement almost one year ago, during an online forum called "Ask the White House."

Secretary Jackson is right, but his actions do not support his words.

When Hurricane Katrina struck, over 5,100 families lived in public housing in New Orleans. The storm and its aftermath caused little structural damage to the developments. With moderate repair and cleanup, the residents could have returned to their homes. But Jackson and HUD had a different agenda.

You got mugged in New Orleans? Really? I spend as much time there as I can. We work in the lower ninth ward, eat in the sixth, sleep and play in the FQ... never been mugged, never been in a situation that made me nervous.

Sorry if you can't get oysters or mint juleps where you live. I find it hard to believe you can't get mugged.

What the hell does that mean? Can't you answer the question? It seems like since you're the one making the accusation, you should be able to defend your statement with specifics. Otherwise, I can only conclude that you are spreading slanderous LIES.

The criminals are those who were embedded with 11th september.
Those criminals had killed in the bright morning around 3000 innocent people( Some are Germans and indians)
In the name of 11th september most of the population around the globe have only soup to sip
