...in other news, the sun rose in the east...
To be fair, I suppose it's a good thing to prove the hypothesis, or make the predictions official, but this hardly comes as "news" to anyone with even modest upper-brain capacity and function:
The first study to rigorously assess the mental health fallout from Hurricane Katrina has confirmed what many researchers and Gulf Coast residents predicted: that mood problems after the storm occurred about as often as in any natural disaster ever studied, and that the delayed government response almost certainly made the problem worse...
Post-traumatic stress symptoms -- which include flashbacks, nightmares, a hair-trigger temper -- were by far the most common type of mental problem and were often associated with incidents that happened in the storm’s wake, like property losses, robberies and assaults.
Ya think?
Again, though, I'd like to compare the Team Bush response to Katrina, Rita, and the federal flood--a stunning ho-hum indifference when adult responsibility was DEMANDED--to their churlish, childish refusal to abandon their aggression/war fantasies against Iran DESPITE their proven incompetence against MUCH weaker Iraq AND the proven facts indicating the lack of an Iranian threat.
As the saying goes, future generations will be astounded by our ignorance...
