I guess if the Katrina body count is high enough, Iraq will seem minor.

2. I hate to say this, but it's already minor
At least in the eyes of John Q Public in the USA.

3. One death is a tragedy; 1 million deaths are a statistic
Stalin, I think, said that.

4. true but
The faster we rebuild new Orleans the more iraq will look like failure.

Make no mistake americans will be pouring the heart, soul, blood, and sweat into getting New Orleans rebuilt. It is a matter of pride. At some point the Iraqi's will know that we are not doing all that we can.

6. money
I too hate to say this, BUT THE LOSS OF $300 BILLION FROM OUR TREASURY (to fund Iraq) WILL OVERSHADOW EVERYTHING, especially now that we need the $$ so desperately. Oh, gosh, I forgot. We never had the $300 Billion in the treasury to spend in the first place.

8. Good point.
The death toll from this will exceed Iraq (even the real numbers) and 9/11 combined.
