Effective leadership is always a PR job isnt it?
I'm not arguing the particulars of each disaster...I'm criticizing the reactions of the respective leaders. I also think you're short-changing Giuliani's organizational skills in handling the crisis during and after it happened. I didn't see Giuliani in front of a tv camera blaming Bush and the CIA for intelligence failures while the towers were collapsing. Or blaming anyone else for that matter. Notice how Nagin has become quite docile and conciliatory now that the situation has come under control? Like Ustwo said, I can't understand why anyone would stick up for this guy.
analog, the irony is apparently lost on you if you don't see what a farce sending your police force to Vegas is. These are public servants who have taken an oath to protect and serve the public.
TO PROTECT AND SERVE THE PUBLIC. Not abdicate in the face of hardship. One of the cops who killed himself lost his wife in the flood. I appreciate the concept of stress management, but now is not the time.
